Death, the Very-Bony-One

is taking down to the Beyond

pulling the hand of the lucky one

named Meg Whitman who yells:

“Don’t take me down yet;

I can give you millions;

don’t you see that I’m today

a candidate for governor?”

“Meg, who can trust you”

–responded Death–

“If your nanny Nicky Díaz

when she asked for your help

to fix her legal papers after

working for years for you,

said: –Meg just laughed at me

and fired me on the spot–

telling me the ingrate:

–Nicky, from this moment on,

you don’t even know me

and I’ve never met you–”

Death reminded her:

“Meg, I’ll treat you likewise,

for lying and causing such pain

I shall take you down to Hell;

with our people in mind,

I recommend not to vote

on this November Second

for this damned good-for-nothing…”

Nowadays you can see a millionaire

burning dollars without end

in an extraordinary election

someplace in a corner of Hell
