Lamb to the Slaughter (Greek/ Poetic Adaption)
I wrote this piece, which was inspired by Roald Dahl's 'Lamb to the Slaughter.'
Chorus:
To seal the deed of her evil scheme,She feel to her knees begging "Please!""Please eat it!" she cried.Noonan gazed into her tearful eyes.Hesitantly, the policeman slurped and burped...Mary had a dark thought."They might as well be eating his corpse."
THUDTHUDTHUD
It replayed again...And again...And again...
Door slamming,Whiskey sipping,Heart breaking,Love decaying,Mistake making,head bleeding,Mary screaming, Lamb chopping,Body rotting,Never Stopping.
THUDTHUDTHUD
She was shaking,Wide eyed,Petrified,She felt the miracle inside her,Where it was wrapped up in a little ball,Maybe it would be better if it was never born at all.
For the lies he told,With a heart so cold.Better for him to leave Than to be the father of a child he will never love,But even better to kill him.
Mary overheard the conversation occurring in the kitchen.Mumbling and grumbling.Stuffing their faces with her disgrace.
"Have some more, Charlie?" asked Noonan, sloppily.The gravy left a greasy trail down his greedy face.Charlie was unsure, "No. Better not to finish it.""She wants you to finish it" said one,"We'd be doing her a favour."The flavour,The sight,The smell,He could not resist.
"That's the hell of a big club the gut must've use to hit poor Patrick" Charlie claimed.Noonan looked nervous,From the plate to Maryand back again.Charlie continued with a face full of juicy meat,"The doctor says his skull was smashed all to pieces just like from a sledgehammer."It should have been easy to find...In the shed?Under the bed?"No they wouldn't of had time," Noonan replied."Well, personally, I think it's right here; under our very noses."
Mary giggledAnd the dead body wriggled.Suddenly,Everything went still.
THUDTHUDTHUD
The 'bing' of the till,Body full of chills,The whisky spill,Lying to the old bill,Then the run to the hills,"Maybe I should have taken the pill."
THUDTHUDTHUD
To conclude this dark tale,There is no rush.Hussssssshh...Her macabre mischief,Was quite deliciousAnd VICIOUS."Daddy won't be home for Christmas."
You see,The worst thing they could do Was chew,Because...Now...They are without a clue...
