Nursery Rhymes for the Mentally Ill

Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat Killed My Violin!

Chapter 7 - Ash

Hey diddle diddle, the cat killed my violin, the cow that jumped over the moon ended up in my freaking backyard, and my silverware ran away from me, what's next?!

That day after school I was sitting on a pillow with my violin resting on my shoulder and held there with my chin, the bow in my right hand, posed to play. But what should I play? I looked around at my room. Black walls with a bunch of different colors of neon splatters all over, a matress with a neon turquoise pillow and black covers, a neon green dresser, a neon yellow door, an orange bathroom door (yes, neon as well), a (neon) pink bookshelf, a neon blue set of curtains, and a neon purple fuzzy rug. Neon... Hmmmm..... AHA!!

"I went to school today, and I stayed outside today, I met a new friend today, and I made a new enemy, and I hate that dear boy. The boy brought a spider to school, and it caused a fire, it burned down the science lab, and for that I'm grateful. I'm terrible at writing songs, oh can't you tell, I totally suck at it, let's get on with the song. About my friend today, her name is Alice. She's really pretty, and she's really nice. I think we'll be great friends, TA DA!!!" I ended with a scream.

If you couldn't tell, I'm not the best song writer, but it displayed my feelings about the day. While I sang I played the on top of old smokey tune (AN/ the song on the side.. don't pay attention to the words on the video, just the tune, put Ash's song to it. It's too short though, but you'll have the tune to go through the whole thing :P/AN) on my violin. I guess it was terrible because everybody yelled at me to stop, even my cat, my dog whined, too. Luce (my cat) pawed her way into my room when I was done and jumped up on my lap, then on my shoulder, then on my violin. Uh oh. She clawed at the thing until it was unrecognizable in looks and sound. Then left.

"You ungrateful little bi-" I was cut off.

"No cursing in the house!" my mom yelled.

I hurumphed and sulked until dinner, when my brother decided to enjoy his time killing my mood like Luce had killed my violin.

"Soooo, maybe you should be a songwriter, the people of the world would just love you!" he teased.

"Shut up." I hissed.

"Ooohhh, someone's in a bad mood cause a harmless little kitty murdered their violin." he whined.

"Maxwell, I swear if you say another word I will punch you in your family jewels and laugh at you." I warned.

He shut up after that and I sighed in satisfaction. My mom agreed that, if I bought lesson books, I could get a new violin. All was well until, when I was about to go to sleep (waist length chocolate brown hair in a ponytail, contacts out of my stormy grey eyes, blue tank and black basketball shorts on) when I heard a cow mooing. We don't have a cow! We have a cat, and a dog, but not a cow. I shuffled downstairs slowly, trying not to trip because I couldn't see, and looked out the sliding glass door in our dining room into our backyard. It was kind of blurry but I definitely saw a white figure with black spots, too big to be my dog who was brown anyway, staring straight at me.

"MOOOOOO!!!" It went.

"Go away you mental cow!" I yelled at it.

With that it walked away. Straight over my fence. I didn't even know cows could jump. Hmmmm, maybe it was the cow that jumped over the moon. With a sigh I decided to have a bowl of cereal. I grabbed my bowl and poured in the milk and coco puffs, then retrieved my fork and spoon (yes I eat my cereal with a fork as well as a spoon /AN I do too! AN/) and sat down. The moonlight shown into the dining room, lighing it up as though the lights were on. I went to pick up my silverware but couldn't find it. After groping for the pieces for a moment I looked up to see the two of them walking away. You know that saying "It didn't just get up and walk away."? Yeah, well, for me that is no longer true. The things had sprouted freaking legs and were walking away!

WTH?!

Hey guys, so the pic on the side is of Ash. I would really appreciate some votes! And comments where the writers of this story are not having a conversation!
