Heads, fingers, knees and toes, she sang, as she added the ingredients to today’s supper. With the men folk out hunting all day, they would surely be hungry for Mom’s specialty: Cannibal Soup.
This dark little ditty is my entry into this weekend’s Trifextra Challenge. Hope it doesn’t creep anyone out too much…just a little.
CREEPY! but good and fun, it almost makes you want to hum along or sing (Head, shoulders, knees and toes) until you realize what you’re singing about…then a deep gulp and a swallow.
HEE!
TGIF!
thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. I actually had the song stuck into my head until I wrote the story…not there now!
that’s one way to eradicate it!
🙂
Clever way to have us think this was a cheerfully singing cook preparing the evening meal. And then bam, the sinister twist. Well done!
Don’t forget the eyeball jelly (:
Now the tune is stuck in my head 🙂
Ha, I love that it sounds just a little bit like Campbell’s Soup. Dark and creepy indeed – you nailed it!
I hope the men enjoy the meal.. but I would like to keep my distance from them.. And don’t they dare invite me for supper..
Just a little is just right!
yes. yes, it did creep me out, Ted – in a very humorous sort of way. I am beginning to share in this dementia? ;p
So glad she put the toes in, makes all the difference!
Creeped me out? Are you kidding? It’s only made me hungry for a knee burger! Thanks for the Excellent adventure Ted!
Ahh a tasty twist.
Toes in the stew? It would be okay but once those toenails get stuck in between your molars, it’s game over. Gruesomely funny :)))
siiiiip . . . needs salt. 🙂
Is it wrong of me that I chuckled while reading? (and now I have an earworm)
Oh, that’s perfectly disgusting. My daughter spent just yesterday pulling the heads off her Barbies, tossing them in a bucket of pool water and stirring the ‘head soup’. I should read her this. Except she’s four. 🙂
This made me laugh out loud! Is that wrong?? 😉
not at all…
Now THAT is what I call *DARK* humor. LOL!
Very funny. 🙂
Needs salt. 🙂
Fun, creepy piece!
I’m afraid you’re trying to creep out the wrong crowd!!! lol
Very fun post.
