A tale of one obsessed.


THE MARRIAGE PLOT

c2011 Brian Beecher


Caught up in the marriage plot
The prize at hand is high
Going after what he’s got
Has her mind occupied

He generally prefers to keep
Everything under control
A model of stability

But she knows very well
Enjoying too much alcohol
Could alter this ability

They will not be careful of
How much is consumed now
Once he goes under her spell
He will be hers anyhow

Chitchat might not satisfy
Those like her who do require
More stimulating and in-depth time

Devising conspired plans
And imaginative scams
In hope that he will fall in line

Caught up in the marriage plot
Caught up in the marriage plot

Caught up in the marriage plot
She knows her plans have failed
Having taken what he’s got
She knows she’ll land in jail

So she pours a poison drink
In front of his kitchen sink
And hands it off to him

Then she pours one for herself
For to end the living hell
Their bodies lying in the house
