Midnight Madness Part 8: "A Difficult Conundrum"

by Ronald Edwards   Sep 3, 2010


You dont know who youre talking to
echoed off the walls.
I lunged full force, knocking him down
between the parking stalls.

My switchblade snapped wide open
at his throat I held it tight.
My reaction took him by surprise,
he wasnt ready for a fight.

I whispered oh just loud enough
only for him to hear.
I had his full attention
as I spoke into his ear.

Listen hard and listen good,
to what you have to do.
If you dont youll make the menu
of the local zoo.

Ill cut you up and feed you
to my tiger friends.
What they dont eat will find its way
in mix to feed the hens.

Midnight didnt move an inch
but stared into my eyes.
He knew I meant what I just said
arguing would be unwise.

Get it straight, and do it quick.
Dont play me like Im dumb.
If you dont youll find yourself
in a difficult conundrum.
