Written to model an assignment: Write a poem based on the elements of horror as discussed in class using the unit's vocabulary. Boo-yah.
Marvin was an affable lad, a kind and friendly
soul,
But quirky in a palpable way, not just a little droll.
When asked one day to
lend a hand, he vehemently
agreed;
Marvin was profoundly glad to help a
friend in need.
A pragmatic plan ascended from his
reason’s deepest trough;
He hoisted up his
sharpest ax and cut his poor hand off.
He zealously presented it, for it
was none too hefty;
He never understood
why they, thereafter, called him “Lefty”.
