A chapter in the book The Divine Nonsense of Jim Wile

Bad Guy

by Jim Wile

Free Verse Contest Winner

    No rhymes you say? Surely you jest!
    Okay, I’ll defer to your ~~request~~ command.
    I’ll warn you right now, it’s tough for me
    To write without rhyming as you can ~~see~~ figure out.

    You’ve thrown down the gauntlet, I must obey:
    Omit all rhyming, and don’t go ~~astray~~ wayward,
    Or I’ll be disqualified, can’t break the rules
    'Cause then you'll take me for a ~~fool~~ jerk.

Enjoy the poem for the contest I wrote,
There isn’t a rhyme as I’m sure you’ll ~~note~~ see:

Bad Guy

That guy over there who appears to be rich,
Walks over folks like a son-of-a-gun.
Better watch out ‘cause he has a knack
For stabbing his enemies in the gut.

Better not cross him, it’s rather bizarre:
He’ll hunt you down both near and not near,
And if he should catch you, he’ll make you pay.
You’ll be lucky to live for another 24 hours.
