Black Mariah and the Sisters of Privilege

buggy paint
brushed over
the undertaker's
carriage dead black
the urn was left the
disposal not for the faint

nobody wanted
the ashes they
were dumped down
the hole in the outhouse
the shit in the dead turd haunted

sisters had the pistols
engraved the three whiskey barrels
black mariah loaded she chuckled about
the gravemarker being buried deep in the stink
and even more funny they had money by the fist fulls

how it all came about
the horse thief disguised
came in one night those whiskey
barrels he thought would make a profit
so he stole the kegs to resell it would
send him to hell he shot the spigot after
collecting the money but not a drop of whiskey
black mariah and the sisters of privilege filled
the barrels with blackpowder gone the egg on his face
no doubt

I like the story in this poem. But it got blown all out of proportion in the end. ;-)

Black powder will do that to you!

Cutting the Cheese by Edward Patterson

Just a simple gathering of the Gay & Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboror (GLAABS) and we plunge down a hilarious ride to perdition.
