The Revenge of Demetri Jones
I went mad they say But he killed my family
So I locked him away.
There is a whole manner of things you can do to a man for me murder is not one of them
I have something far more sinister in plan
I enter the chamber and lock the door
I looked at my tools in aw at what I have in store
Back with the fingers or off with the nails?
Maybe I’ll tie him up and submerge him in gel.
My weary mind is racing with what I can do
Maybe off with his finger so I have something to chew?
I’ll start off with a simple minatory grin
I’ll also poke him and prod him with a piercing pin.
I’ll have him under water and let him back up again.
My plan is so glorious I can’t help but laugh
And when I am through I will chop him in half
There is no telling what I will do
But he took my family this is far from through
About this poem
It’s about torturous revenge on a wrong doer
