WOL Colosseum vs WOL Fun Bus

WOL Colosseum vs WOL Fun Bus

 

What do you want me to write about folks?

A bit of doom, maybe some gloom?

Include some wrist-slitting and bleed-out in

bath?

Domestic violence?, yep, I could make room

 

Roll up to the WOL Colosseum

Where fight to the death's on the bill

It's free entry folks, just come lay down your bets

On who will get maimed, who'll get killed

 

On the other hand I could write fun

To brighten the dark on our site

I'm just not a Colosseum person I'm afraid

To me doom and gloom's just not right

 

I'm not here to write blood and gore

I'm healing myself, doing more

With poetry that's all 'bout the good things in life

I've kicked doom and gloom out the door

 

So there......

Love it Don, upbeat rhythm and rhyme. Just the thing for a wet Monday morning...?

Creating good rhymes is not easy
It's more than just Jack and his Jill
It's not just 'bout gladiatorial battles
I'ts not just 'bout who'll do the kill

Why is my black humour coming out here?
Infecting this nursery story so?
I think I betta go and start over
Spread some fun seeds around, let them grow ?

This is a protest piece at some of the things I saw when first entering WOL. My response was to form the FUN BUS. ?
