Hi, Twin Girls From “The Shining”

A Peppy But Misguided Poem by Russ Cooper

hi, twin girls from ‘the shining’

nice to see you lurking at the end of the hall

scarin’ and a-startlin’ me

face first into a wall

eventually i return to consciousness

and i comb back all my hairs

you’re spooky but at least you’re not

that moldy lady in the creepy bathtub way upstairs

So what say we all go get a snack

from the downstairs ‘frigerator

but then suddenly! flooded out the door!

courtesy that bloody leaky elevator

so i’ll miss your evil silent stares

and all your eerie ghostly tricks

but i’ve had enough REDRUM for one day

next time i’ll just stay at a motel six

~ciao~
