1172 - Opposing Forces

Opposing Forces

Some folk like to fight.

Like vegetarianism,

Violence is a choice.

◊

The nighttime launching

Of sharp and flaming missiles

Is a futile thing.

◊

Some just want to fight—

Choose your weapons carefully;

Choose your arena.

1171 - Bad Move

Bad Move

There was a young maiden called Marion,

Who always seemed to be marryin'.

Once the knot was tied

They mysteriously died—

Much to the delight of the carrion.
