I majored in vilification

You were a fantastic teacher

I’m so glad I saw the trend

Of dreaming up killers

That you filled the tub with

And soaked in all the live long day

In gleeful murderous preoccupation

I can name them, everyone.

You crazy crazy luff

And to think

You did nothing but flap

Every day of your life

It all came to nothing

Except one woman

On the stairs

One time

But that did not make them all monsters

Just one

And let’s keep in mind

That it is you telling the story

Unconfirmed by anyone that matters

So that tub will drain

And I won’t think of it again.

And just like that

On the hill

Where you schooled me in love

I dropped the class

To pursue a life of living again

In the winds of steady sailing

Where people are friends

And villians are very very rare
