Venus Deathtrap

 I went to her play
just to hear what she might say
it was about a tragedy unseen
with a touch of comedy in between
she finally got the lead role
which was always her number one goal
So I found my seat in the front row
I was so excited, I didn't notice the seat sunk too low
then the lights grew dim
and not one person seemed grim
the play took off to a great start
she really did well playing her part
and right before intermission
my seat went out of commission
for it snapped in two
locking me into
its jaws of cushion
it was too late to take caution
as my legs flew up in the air
exposing my pink underwear
oh how could this be
everything for all to see!
then the play came to a halt
all because of my clumsy fault
then I hear the laughter
and pointing fingers, what a disaster
she never came to help me out of this chair
all she did was stand there and stare
how could this happen on opening night
oh no, here comes the spotlight
and better yet
how much more embarrassing can this get
finally more help was called in
and they got me out carefully as if I committed a mortal sin
they used a device they call the jaws of life
a cut through that chair like a sharpened knife
and I was pulled free
and left with my shame and no pity
so always check where you sit
or you might get bit
by the Venus deathtrap
and end up with your head in your lap!
