What a Great Big Piece of Bunk!

I tried. I did. I tried to be a good husband. Really, really!

What a Great Big Piece of Bunk!

By Scott D. Zachary
Copyright 2004


"Damn, my head hurts!"
No light whatsoever.
"Where am I?"
I raised up and banged my head.

Groggy, last I remember, she said,
"You’re sweet, but not sweet enough."
My vision had blurred;
My limbs had gone limp.

Feeling my way around this tiny space,
"Ah-ha, a tire and a jack,
"I’m in a trunk!
"What a great big piece of bunk!"

Thank god, it’s a spacious trunk.
My mind is becoming more lucid,
As I recall what she had said:
"It’s big enough for sixteen dead bodies!"

Surely, she was joking,
But I’m in her trunk!
Not just any trunk,
I’m in her trunk!

"Help! Help! Help!
"Okay, the joke’s over;
"Get me out of here!
"Please, please, honey dear."

It’s becoming difficult to breathe.
Why did she put me here?
What made her do it?
I’ve been a good husband, haven’t I?

At least she left me this big pillow,
Or is it a pillow? No, it’s a dead body!
This was bad enough before,
Before I realized that I wasn’t even the first.

I hope the next fourteen
Smell better than this guy.
As I checked for his nonexistent heartbeat,
He farted! And then he farted again!

"Dear! Please! Let me out of here!"

Scott, Well finally, B., got smart and dumped you in the trunk, LOL!
I thought about that but I didnt have a trunk when we lived down south, and I didnt think there was trunk big enough to house that ego anyway, so...LOL! Enjoyed a good laugh from a great author this morning, too bad it wasn't you...LOL. But you know as a friend i am only kidding...you are as always my favorite writer...Peace, Ed & Woofie.

okay, this was far worse than the dog house ... and careful what you wish for. when my teen got her first car, it was huge, and i think we remarked that same exact thing, "you could put about 50 bodies in here!"
