Writer, Not Serial Killer

Writer, Not Serial Killer poem by Iris Carden

Don't annoy the author, let me tell you why:
I'll put you in a story, then I'll make you die.

I have no qualms in killing a fictional you.
So be careful what you say, and be careful what you do.

I could forgive. I could forget. But where's the fun in that?
When I could write some words, and make you go splat!

I could push you down a staircase, or stab you in the night.
I could write a horror story, and make you die of fright.

Revenge is fun in fiction, there's no limit to what I write.
Look out, the killer's following, while you walk alone at night.

Forget conventional revenge. I won't slander your name around town,
You'll die in a dark alley, killed by a psychotic clown.

I'll put you in my story. You can read it through.
You may not even realise; only I'll know for sure it's you.

So don't annoy the author. While I write, don't bother me.
Or I'll put you in my story, and you'll die horribly!
