Tunnel of Disappointment

by

When Mary Lou and Tommy went at it, neighbors with nothing else to do would lip-synch the argument. Each was cheating on the other. When the carnival came to town, they thought a ride through the Tunnel of Love would save the relationship.

“Tickets, please.”

But there, each kissed the other with poisoned lips.

When the ride ended, both were quite dead.

Police investigated. The other riders, largely teens, were annoyed.

Coitus interruptus.

By the time the stiff s were bagged, the teens were at Lover’s Lane.

Some continued where they left off.

An unfortunate few could not recapture the mood.
