Position:Home>Poetry> The Death Of My Sweet Shelly?


Question:Little Shelly Mckeef late one night
was sent to bed without a bite.
Her parents stomped their foots and said, "up to bed you go."
But Little Shelly McKeef stomped harder and screamed no no no!

Locked in her room, with dolls left and right
the beams from the full moon provided the only glimpse of light.
Pacing around her room, hands tearing at her head
hmmm she wondered what it would be like if mommy and daddy were dead?

She heard locks being locked and chains being chained
"There you go honey" said Mrs. Mckeef, "You stay in there until you are no longer insane."
"Once you learn your mistake and know what to say,
then we will let you outside to run around and play."

Little Shelly McKeef crawled onto her bed and began to cry tears of sadness and pain, Which buried the sound of the window being trickled by droplets of rain.

you posted this twice and i still like it......just have to read it....but i wanted to tell you something.....i compare you with bob dylan and his song writing.......its a little out of left field and good. ya have to be a fan to appriciate it. i am now your groupie! .............LOL ..... keep it up you have great talent......

THAT little girl is not kind, and has crazy ideas of yours to kill parents...lol

Lol, really funny poem. The depiction of a humourous topic such as hate and malevolence towards our parents are something that many people can relate to, and your contortion of these ideas into something as comical as this is gud.

I seem to remember this poem from some time ago. I thought it funny then and it's rather funny now.
