Silas’ percussion was
a cry for help
when really, all He
wanted to do
was to
harm Monica.

Every once in a
while,
Silas would go to the
park.

He loved to go there
on sunny days,
and relax whilst He
fed the ducks.

He especially liked
to feed them
to his pet
alsation

The man was going to ask
Silas
to put the knife away.

(But he didn’t have the heart.)

You make me sick!
Silas shouted

at his parents

who were at the table with him
as he ate

When meeting
new friends
Silas
liked to check if
they held a
special place
for Him
in their heart.

Silas’ love finally burned
itself out.
It was early morning
by this stage, and the
fire had raged for
several hours.

Happy that nothing was
left of
His love,
Silas left the scene,
returning home, and
fell asleep, still smelling
slightly
of the petrol

The teacher once
told Silas
that it took
lots of guts
to write

Finding that the
pen was mightier than
the sword,
Silas realised
that He
was quite an
author

having heard that
love is blind
Silas decided to
play cupid

The community care for
Silas,
And one day, He was
able to go shopping.

Silas purchased
from the shop-
a cordless Drill, and a
Large drill bit.

Whilst shopping, Silas asked
to try out a sanding
attachment. It worked well,
Though the assistant didn’t like it.

Later, whilst visiting His
doctor,
Silas sat on the bus,
Eager to try out his new toy.

A child, next to Silas,
Began to misbehave. This
annoyed Silas, so He drilled
through its parents’ heads.

And Silas was content, though
the child still misbehaved
for at least it was no longer the
fault of its upbringing.

The happy little bluebirds
No longer fly.
They cannot – for
Silas
has been here.

Once, when He was younger, and
Less well
Developed-
He had visited the park.

Being miserly with truth,
Silas reinvented the
Dodo. Perhaps He was
Confused, but Wingless bluebirds
Do not look similar.

Silas was pleased though,
For when He threw the
Birds, at least They
Didn’t fly.
