Cover Your Eyes

I signed up for a weekly writing prompt and these 3 words stayed in my mind. I’m not a vengeful person but it’s good to give expression to that aspect of my personality!

Cover Your Eyes

“Cover your eyes

It’s a surprise”

He knew his demise

Was due to his lies

His narcissist sighs

Were such a good guise

With help she got wise

Her lows became highs

His fate he denies

He whimpers then cries

Grows weak as he dies

His blood slowly dries.

Here’s a more benign (and very imaginative – I haven’t eaten a mucky D for at least 15 years) alternative:

“Cover your eyes

It’s a surprise!”

She goes and buys

Food and supplies

A Big Mac and fries

Go on, Super Size

Then some pork pies.

A trip to Belsize

It’s a paradise

Planes they give rise

To flighty new highs

Up up in the skies

Just wave your goodbyes

Travel’s the prize.
