Sister Mary-Jane is a very dedicated nun, with a minor problem. A very minor problem. Things happen near her, but never to her.
The other day she was driving down the road when a child on a bike hurtled out of a side road straight under the wheels of the meals-on-wheels van.
Sister Mary-Jane was mortified and decided to kill herself.
A double decker bus was parked by the road, and Sister Mary-Jane leapt into the drivers seat and headed for a nearby cliff and drove straight over the edge.
The party of children who had just been declared free of cancer who had hired the bus are all killed, as is the pregnant mother of three sets of triplets who was picnicking on the beach below.
Sister Mary-Jane is thrown onto nearby rocks but is uninjured, the lifeboat sent to rescue her runs aground and the entire volunteer crew drown. So a helicopter is dispatched. It picks her up successfully but crashes on the helipad at the hospital, setting it alight and killing most of the staff and patients, needless to say Sister Mary-Jane survives ...
This is a typical day for her, can you please tell us of another of her typical days in any form of poetry. We both prefer metrical rhyming poetry but also love most other styles Free Verse, Blank Verse, simple rhyme anything you like.
Just remember, it is never REALLY Mary-Jane's fault, and those who suffer are always those who deserve her attentions least.
NO GRAPHIC VIOLENCE!!!
We don't want to know how they died it is bad enough that the poor sister has this problem!
Do your stuff.
