A chapter in the book People
Jerry's Back
by Bill Schott
The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.
Jimmy jumped on Jerry's back
justified in his attack
used a brick to bat his head
and kept it up 'til he was dead
Jerry's body had collapsed
his brain had sent its last synapse
when suddenly he was aware
he floated in the crime-scene air
Jimmy still seemed cruelly led
to make a mess of Jerry's head
Jerry felt that if he could
he'd inhabit Jimmy Hood
Soon he found and was surprised
to see himself through Jimmy's eyes
He had looked better, wasn't well
in fact his brains were beat to hell
Then he came up with a trick
to beat his own head with the brick
he used the block to hit his gourd
revenge would soon be his reward
It hurt a lot, so soon he stopped
his bubble for revenge had popped
then a thought occurred to him
he wasn't Jerry, now he's Jim
So he buried his remains
cleaned up blood and bones and brains
started living Jimmy's life
enjoyed his car, his home, his wife
His new life was a master plan
to be the Boss, the Chief, the Man
his life seemed blessed, a greater good
'til he was killed by Mrs. Hood
