Tonight's Poet Corner: I Decided To Be Evil

I Decided To Be Evil
by Belinda Roddie

I decided to be evil today -
drown puppies, kill kittens,
and strangle bunny rabbits.
But I couldn't find any,
and they looked way too cute to ever
hurt. So I thought about setting my
high school on fire. But I really
needed to graduate so I could go to
college, and college is always cool.
I thought about making a bottle of poison
to slip into my dad's coffee in the morning.
But, honestly, I love my dad
way too much. I guess all I can do
is be the benevolent tyrant - pretend
that I'm evil, but really just
surround myself with ponies and
sparkles and be an all-around
really nice guy.
