Sonnet From A Hospital Bed

November 21st 2006 04:03



Gentle was the voice of the boxing pro
'Til I laid my gentle hand on his wife
And said something lewd involving a fife
My mouth's next fistful felt much worse than crow
Got smacked in the chin and then down below
Although he did not pull a gun or knife
I still had reason to fear for my life

At least I think that I stomped on his toe

My ribs and my jaw could take months to heal
Been weaned off morphine so I don't feel fine
I'm told that my tale will not help me sign
A huge lucrative nonfiction book deal

'Twould be something good to tell a grandkid
But I can't have one due to what he did

You, Romeo, you. First that drunken sonnet. Now this. You really must take better care of yourself.

Not sure what is crazier, this poem or making the move on a boxers girl.

aw i think pugilists everywhere would feel the pain you wrote about, on the assumption they aren't already brain dead from blows to the head.
