FIVE WAYS TO KILL A MAN

There are many cumbersome ways to kill a man
You can make him carry a plank of wood
To the top of the hill and nail him to it.
To do this properly,
You require a crowd of people wearing sandals,
A cock that crows,
A cloak to dissect, a sponge,
Some vinegar, and one man to hammer the nails home.

Or, you can take a length of steel,
Shaped and chased in a traditional way,
and attempt to pierce the metal cage he wears.
But for this, you need white horses,
English trees and men with bows and arrows.
At least two flags, a prince,
and a castle to hold your banquet in.

Dispensing with nobility, you may, if the wind allows,
blow gas at him.
But then you need a mile of mud sliced through with ditches,
Not to mention black boots, bomb craters, more mud,
A plague of rats, a dozen songs and some round hats made of steel.

In an age of aeroplanes, you may fly miles above your victim
and dispose of him by pressing one small switch
All you require, is an ocean to seperate you,
Two system of govenrnments, a nation's scientists,
Several factories, a psychopath and a land that needs no one...
For several years.

These are, as I began, cumbersome ways to kill a man.
Simpler, direct, and much more neat is to see he lives in the middle of the twentieth century...
and leave him there...

I pierced my ear again!! WOOHOO!!
