The note

Upon the fridge was pinned a note

In hurried hand it had been wrote

It said exactly this, I quote

'I'm joining Johnny on his boat'

No further message there was penned

My poor heart, oh it did rend

That man was far more foe than friend

I fretted how it all might end

My girl was hardly more than lass

Although she could be bold as brass

And on occasion rather crass

She had no business with that ass

I'd heard stories 'bout that man

About his off-white panel van

My face went pale, I turned and ran

Mind scrambling to make a plan

My feet flew down towards the dock

As chimes emitted from the clock

Those schemes of his, I planned to block

That boat of his would surely rock

When I arrived, the dock was bare

Neither he nor she were there

I almost wilted with despair

He'd lured her right into their lair

See Johnny was a simple fool

Passing handsome, never cruel

He often hung around the pool

Making the young women drool

But I knew where he'd take his date

A place where bad men lay in wait

Their stone-cold eyes filled up with hate

I hoped I wouldn't be too late

There was at river's mouth a place

Perched atop the high rock face

These cloaked men had made their base

That was where my feet did race

I donned a cloak and grabbed a gun

I planned to kill them one by one

Oh they'd regret what they had done

They'd not live to see the sun

The trip took longer than I'd like

The cult's lair was quite a hike

I hid in bushes, poised, catlike

Waiting for the time to strike

What I witnessed shocked me raw

Rocked my foundations to the core

My girl was there, feet on the floor

I'd never seen her look so sure

A knife in hand, she faced the men

She sliced and then she sliced again

Til blood was thick in that bullpen

She slaughtered them from one to ten

I'd never seen her move so quick

Their bodies did she nick and prick

The scarlet ground became quite slick

The last man gave a death throe kick

She turned to where I hid close-by

As if she knew my eyes did spy

'You read the note?' her voice was shy

'T'was time for these bad men to die'

I stood up and smiled at her

'My girl, of course I do concur,

I wanted these deaths to occur

I wished we'd had time to confer'

'I tried to tell you once or twice

But what's done, it should suffice'

Her eyes were hard as winter ice

'I've ended virgin sacrifice'
