The Shinigami

"Though I walk through the valley of Death
"I shall not be afraid
"For I am the God of Death"
He whispered and clutched his braid

"I run and hide, but I don't lie!"
I laughed and my comrades smirked
"The Shinigami cannot die!"
But then my braid was jerked

I spun on my heel and the others turned
What was it that I should see?
Someone for who my anger burned
She came no higher than my knee!

"Can I get a picture of you guys?"
She asked in a squeaky voice
Bandai said we're just a franchise
We really had no choice

"Sure, little girl"
We struck a pose
Then her hair she began to twirl
"Everyone knows"

"Knows what?" Wuffie asked
Fidgeting in dismay
"You thought it was masked
But we all know you're gay."
