Apocalyptica : The stench of Death

 


Pizza box fortress,

lager can castle,

Ashtray overflowing with

old cigarette ends.

Stained coffee mugs

litter the room 

bathed in centuries of gloom.

Famine looked up

from her food,

"Erm guys, is this

some weird,

brief interlude?"

 

War turned from the PlayStation,

Call of Duty blaring away

"Yeah, it seems

we have

no work

on today"

 

Conquest was teaching

Daisy the cat,

How to trap

and tease a rat.

Pestilence sat

concocting a virus,

"It's so quiet"

she spluttered.

The rat stuttered then ran

as fast as he could

but Daisy had a plan,

she cornered the rat,

"You have met your maker, 

I am the rat undertaker.

You are no match for my feline skills."

Daisy meowed.

War screamed

"Aww yeah 100 kills"

as on the screen

into a room he ploughed,

mowing down any foe around.

 

A clanging chain

like a death bell chorus

Conquest quickly covered

his nose and mouth.

Flushing water drains down.

Death vacated the toilet,

looked at the gathered

horsepeople

and proclaimed.

"I would leave it 10 minutes

if I was you,

It's like something

died in there"
