Mr Adjective
Mr Adjective smiled before he blew
the heads off Mrs Noun and Mr Verb.
"I have the divine right to multiply,
to have as many as my wondrous kind
in the beautiful form of poetry.
Who are you to coldly say I'm too much?"
Mrs Noun possessively twitched as her
ending rapidly fluttered in sad eyes.
Mr Verb's wild activity faded,
he was in love with Mrs Noun but could
never marry her, she was too set in her ways.
The Adverb community quickly spread
news of this brutal assassination,
the land of language reeled and mourned their loss.
"What shalI I do?" Said Mr Adjective.
"I have a proposition! I will take
my revolver and blow back Time's sweet face,
then none of this would have happened at all."
