Death of the party

 


He's the death of the party

swinging his scythe gloomily

to the rhythmic sound

of the drums menacing pound,

as it flows out of the speakers

and through the ground.

 

He feels his bones shake,

reverberate

to the musical earthquake,

as the thunderous chorus approaches.

He bends down like a locust

and bam. He pounces.

Pogoing, he bounces.

 

Head banging along

to the sonorous beat of the song.

Scythe being strummed like a guitar.

He is the death of the party,

some kinda superstar.

 

He twists,

Hip bones gyrating

he slices

and he kills the lights,

He swings again

and the lady beside

falls to her knees,

cut down in her prime

as her lifeline slides.

 

The crowd mill around the bar,

too busy trying to be seen.

Oblivious to the black and white blur

with steel-silver sheen.

Like a tornado he spins through

and the sound

of smashed glasses fills the room.

 

Exhausted now,

this work plays havoc with your wrist,

he has only one or two more

to tick off his list.

Dancing for eternity.

Enjoy your final night of revelry.

Like a bony ninja he strikes,

bang, bang, bang

the bodies drop.

Now just the DJ for the chop.

 

The sound of vinyl scratching,

played by the scythes needle-like point.

He spins the best tunes, they haunt.

He screams from inside his rib cage,

a strange mixture of joy and rage.

It's my party, you'll die if I want you to.

Now please everybody form an orderly queue,

there is a long journey ahead of you.
