A Cautionary Tale

They found him there one evening
still shackled to the bed,
the local cops though homicide
but it was this instead.

A little bit of bondage
and hanky panky too,
but all that extra energy
brought hunger through and through.

So leaving him still shackled
she nipped out for a bite,
but stepped too soon from pavement
in the darkness of the night.

Now she never would return again
and stuck upon the bed,
he passed away from waiting
and never being fed.

So if you must seek dinner
when you both have had enough,
be sure to leave the key nearby
so he can open up the cuff!
