A Tale of Two Brothers

Osiris and Set were two brothers

Who were after the same girl,

But since Osiris was older

Set agreed that Osiris could have her

Osiris couldn’t be happier

To have his lovely wife

But Set had an evil plan

That would create lots of strife

Oblivious to Set’s trickery

(For he thought that their

Rivalry was a thing of the past)

Osiris invited him to his 30^th birthday

Not even the thought of his nephew

Could make Set rethink his plan

He suggested a game to liven it up

And led the clan to the patio

A 6 foot long pinata was hanging

From a tree; It was bending the branches

Ever so slightly more than usual

Instead of a bat, Set pulled out a knife

He presented it with a smile to Osiris

And gestured to the oddly shaped pinata

Osiris, drunk on the champagne

Put on a blindfold and went to work

His aim was true enough

He hit the box all three times

But instead of candy spilling out

Came the drip drip drip of the blood

His wife gasped in horror

His child didn’t get it

His brother, on the other hand,

Signaled for the police

“You see? This man here

Killed the man in the box.

He’s done it before; and

Undoubtedly, he’d do it again.”

He was convicted for countless murders

And given the death penalty

His wife and child ran and hid

Set’s still trying to find them

Osiris couldn’t be happier

To have his lovely wife

But Set had an evil plan

That would create lots of strife
