A Villainelle For Cookie Queen K. & You!

*

The Moon was full and red as if it bled.

Plump farmer's wife yawped to husband; "Dinner!"

While murm'ring pines and hemlocks sucked earth; fed.

*

Tired farmer secured barn, to house did head,

Wondering what his wife had a-simmer.

The Moon was full and red as if it bled.

*

Old German farmer sighed on his straw bed

Shedding mucked-up boots by candle's glimmer,

While murm'ring pines and hemlocks sucked earth; fed.

*

Beaming wife, him to dinner table led.

She repeating vows; "I'll love you immer!".

The Moon was full and red as if it bled.

*

"My Heave'nly light, I love you!" husband said.

Gray-haired frau with carving knife a-shimmer,

While murm'ring pines and hemlocks sucked earth; fed.

*

Then, through a door ajar a lover sped;

They swiftly slaughtered the feeble farmer.

The Moon was full and red as if it bled,

While murm'ring pines and hemlocks sucked earth; fed.
