A Race

Gasp a silent scream

Got to be a dream

Discordant voices

Questioning choices

From the guest bedroom

Came a pop of doom

How could you, he died!

Heartbroken, she cried

Overcome with dread

His killer then fled

He ran for the door

Tripped, fell to the floor

Entwined, they struggled

Emotions juggled

Murderer, she hissed

Couldn’t you have missed? 

Locked in a frantic race

Gun aimed at each face

Minds blanked by panic

Launched their last antic

Gaze into the sink

Vomit, smell the stink
