Tournequet

~

On his leg was a homemade tourniquet,
That man who had words with the local twit,
He was still a born fighter,
So he twisted it tighter,
Then went blue and died when he had a fit.

And soon she did wax really caustic.

Then chewed on a drumstick,
And conjured a limerick,
Researching a rhyme for gristle,

With seven a hole in your old soul,
With eight I don't know,

And poets will write only doggerel.

Tripped over his Mum,
To fall on his bum,
And erased all the words on the chalkboard.
