Sweet Sisters

Miss Madeline made mincemeat of her mother,
Then sliced her father vertically in two.
She bought a shark and fed it on her brother;
I think she was a naughty girl, don’t you?
She shot a lot of uncles, aunts and cousins,
And both her nieces when they got to ten,
But now her body count is in the dozens,
She promises she won’t do that again!
Miss Madeline still had a little sister,
A sister whom she loved beyond compare.
The sister was a dreadful little blister
Who looked on Madeline without a care.
And late one night her sister found the knife
Which sweetly severed Madeline from life!

over after all …
