of Darth Vader
as my enthusiasm grew
so I joined in close harmony
and started heavy breathing
too.
I sat there in a trance
when she yodeled
in my ear.
It was a suggestive remark
and her intention
was very clear.
So let me tell you
dear readers
if you're eating jelly beans
death by misadventure
is what my epitaph
means.
I had called her
on the hotline
and it was a fatal mistake
and choking on hard candy
was far more
than I could take.
I just wanted a little quickie.
My unfaithful wife
was away at work.
Please don't judge me too harshly
if you're thinking
I'm a jerk.
Of course
I'm in astral projection
looking down on the life I knew
and the lady who sounded
like Darth Vader
didn't have a clue.
The coda
of this story
has an ironic twist
with a juicy detail
that most of you
cannot resist.
The unfaithful wife
was Darth Vader
on her cellphone
although talking
when you're driving
is something society must condone.
You see
the lady with the menacing voice
didn't see the red light
and she has joined
her unfaithful husband
on their post mortem flight.
