Best Left Alone
#9
This reminds me of work by Roald  Dahl, I believe the book was titled 'Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes. I think it flows well, it really needs to be illustrated, Dahl Style.. 

Mariah dreamt of wedding bells
after her pet frog died,
she ate the legs and stomped a toad
still wasn’t satisfied.


Cathy wouldn’t crush a bug
she loved to bleed a feast,
her itch to give became so strong
she raped her virgin priest.

If I have any novice constructive criticism to include, perhaps there is some confusion with the change in content from bug crushing to raping a priest as it appears to be introduced quite unexpectedly, from one subject to the next. The correlation between the two different subjects are a little unclear. 

she loved to bleed a feast,
her itch to give became so strong
she raped her virgin priest.

While the use of childlike names and their penchant for bug crushing hints at innocence yet this work is obviously not a work for children... I enjoyed the cynical tone to this poem.

Suzie never cared to think
about dead frogs or bugs,
we’d eat ourselves before too long
so why pretend to love?

Regardless, a wicked fun read ^_^
my muse ran screaming....no really
