HALF-ASSED SHAFTED
Once he left, all the smart leaders laughed
at the big bully baby so daft
that he crawled back for less
well, of course they said yes
what a mess when you get your own shaft!
About This Poem
Last Few Words: I think this one is pretty sound metrically. I know variances are allowed, but I believe the standard format is hard to type here as an example because you can't put anything in paragraph form or start a new line...hm...something to improve, I suppose. You'll have to take my word for it!
