MASTERPIECE #3605

/// Here we witness A Young Girl Preparing
Chantarelles for a meal she’ll be sharing
with her stepfather who
beats the girl black and blue.
Her revenge plan is fiendishly daring.

/// Fungi picked in the woods on long hikes
have some poisonous near-lookalikes.
So she secretly smiles
while preparing two piles.
With the toxin, his salad she spikes.

/// A vile, (frequently violent), boozer,
he, for years was her secret abuser.
With her mother now dead
he’d have forced her to wed.
His death frees her and none will accuse her.

/// She’d been taught that to kill was a sin.
but she’d done this to save her own skin.
Very grateful that she
had learned mycology,
now a happier life would begin.
