Bad Guy

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.
