The Law School Suicide Fantasy Chronicles-Introduction

The Law School 

Suicide Fantasy Chronicles

Part I

Introduction

Five kids started Law School
in Autumn's Gothic Season.
Children bright, with much ambition;
without the money for tuition.


All were dead within five years,
by suicide, so it appears.
and each one for the self-same reason.
Read on if you think I'm teasin'.

Such a sad and Evil story,
they died in shame, and not in glory;
for the darkest sin that's known to man
is to take one's life with one's own hand.


Three were girls, and two were lads
They joined their wrists and made a vow:
That they would start a Firm somehow;
and as one did, so all would act,
and many clients they'd attract,
after they were JD grads.


They all stepped off the bus at Tar-oh
early on an August day....but,
like runaways in Hollywood,
they had to sell themselves to stay.
In their case it was kind of fun,
they signed an X, the deed was done!
No need to worry 'bout tomorrow,
The student loans were there to borrow!

But on that first and fateful day,
and ere they stepped inside,
all were seen to shrink and pause--
a dreadful cloud, both swift and wide
cast a shadow on their way,
and doubts upon their cause.


"What evil place is this?" they asked.
"What witchcraft lurks inside?"
What force has guided nature's hand
to cast this dreadful pall?
They looked around and whispered:
"Woe betide us all!"


(And the teachers glided dimly by,
in Motley dress, with web-like shawls.)

Billy was the first to go,
He blew his brains out with a shotgun. (1)



Next was Jenny, who, for fun,
made a Swan Dive from a bridge,
in blinding snow,
and struck cold water far below.



Celeste, the Artsy-Craftsy one,
clever and footloose,
used her good hands to make a noose,
and, with a face both tight and grim,
her clumsy feet slipped from a limb. (2)





Next came little Feety Petey,
and as you all will see,
he sliced his two arms viciously.
Not a Good Boy, he was Bad!
(Some say Angry, Some say Sad.
and some say simply Mad!). (3)

Mikey, the Red Caboose,

was such a silly goose. 

He was always last and late. 

He made himself a Royal Pain--

they had to scrape him off a train!

It cost the taxpayers dearly for the delay, 

and the Union Railroad pay

which is Great!

Whoops, I said 3 girls and 2 boys. I'll change that tomorrow. Make the red caboose a girl. Or not.
