The Visitors




Visiting Versailles on his Vespa,
Versace clad with favorite boy in tow.
Van heading right in their direction,
Vladie didn't feel a thing from his throw.

Veins pumping full of medications,
Valium surging through the mighty drip.
Vaccines wouldn't really make a difference,
Valleys high and low were on his trip.

Vilmer still reported missing,
Villagers searched throughout the land.
Venom plagued his inner being,
Variable fates for his right hand man.

Veronica pleaded his forgiveness,
Vixen swore she couldn't see a thing.
Valor was something that he stood for,
Velcro kept him seated atop a doughnut ring.

Voice muted as he tried to whisper,
Vanquished of the sounds that dripped like honey.
Victoriously recovered whole but fractured,
Ventriloquist smiled as words flowed from his dummy.
