One hundred beads, strung upon a chain
Linking the faucet, to plug of the drain
During a bath, along came a strain
Severing the link, 99 beads remain
The plug was removed, then tub ceased to contain
Water and bead, which swirled down the drain
Riding the maelstrom, the bead felt no pain
Deeper and deeper, into the sub-terrain
Bead bobbed and screamed, she tried to refrain
But bead could not resist, the force of the drain
Faster and faster, like a runaway train
Bead rode the pipeway, feeling heavy disdain
A light up ahead, bead then became fain
Bead had arrived at the end of the drain
Bead looked around, as her strength did regain
Surrounded by nothing but a fiery red plain
Sulfurous brimstone, the smell was profane
A voice called to bead saying, “What is thy name?”
Bead replied, “Libby” as she felt helpless and tame
Bead asked the voice, “Where am I and what is your name?”
The voice then thundered, “I am Satan and you’re not in Spain!”
Bead said, “I’m in Hell? How long will I remain?”
“Eternity” laughed Satan, “Here, you will forever reside!”
Bead then screamed, as Satan said, “You shall be my bride!”
“Yes” said the bead, named Libby, as tears of joy she cried.
Satan then said, “Ha ha, I’m the Devil, I just may have lied!” :rolleyes: :eek:
The End
It was… mildly disturbing, I have to admit, but sweet in it’s own little way!
Yer pal,
Satan

Your welcome Satan, but mildly disturbing? I would like to point out that “Bead” did NOT die, she simply went so far the drainpipe that she ended up in Hades, or the center of the earth, if you prefer. I intend no malice or spite to anyone whatsoever. It’s all meant in good nature, my friends. My apologies, if anyone has taken my story out of context.
I worked too hard on this thread to let it get pushed to page two. That’s why I am posting a reply to nothing else particular, here. Get back up there, thread! Sit, stay, good thread :rolleyes:
A friend of the the couple once said
A poem? No! An experiment instead
With a loaf of Viner Brød
fed electrons (How odd!
That he’d pinned Anode to Dane Bread)
Quos perdere prius dementat
Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad
Im never going to here the end of this! First thing tomorow when she walks into work im going to here about this!
Satan, I dont remeber if i said congratulations or not the last time i saw you. So, just in case i didnt, ill say it now…
Congratulations!
Ive known drain bead for about a year, and i said this to her, and im going to say it to everyone else, Libby is more of a man than i am!
I remeber the first day when she was back to work after she got engaged. I think she was already up here sitting at her desk, and when i walked the stairs. I walked up to the desk to say hello and she turned in her chair and said “Hi Craig!” I looked at her for a moment and replied, “Your glowing, what happened?”
Hope you stay a while, dude! And please take care of Libby when I ain’t there, which is far too often…
Yer pal,
Satan
