In the Thick Night: a poem


In the Thick Night: a poem

       by One-shot Reimer
       alias Dougy One-shot


brenda gerder
did a murder
in the month of may
      
the man she killed
was often billed
a thin man during day

she hated how
he hated cow
and hated women more

so one day late
just at the gate
she struck him to the floor

it was no feat
he ate no meat
he stood nigh six foot six

no thinner man
no slimmer man
no lard was in the mix

she hit him hard
with no regard
for where the blow would fall

it knocked his pate
with all his weight
he buckled and cried "lord!"

she curtsied once
and with a bounce
she sashayed out the door

his being thin
was just not in
she thought as she left there

next time be nice
to girls with lice
keep on your underwear

that is the tale
of thin man bill
of how he got his pay

for skipping meat
avoiding teat
he got no day in court
