A Plan To Kill
Going to an ocean death, denied worms
At the rear done, stern (yes naval terms)
Best a lower deck down, lowest how apt
Bully he’s gone; all free me now not trapped
Big man struck, stunned, with just a strong push
Time a plenty, calm, no panic, or need for hush
Powerful Propellers churning, all sound damped
No conscience felt, over there he goes, dumped
A Long way from land, body lost, if found decayed
Checked secret loathing the act must not be delayed
Denied opportunity and timing he didn’t go (perhaps)
Me me the cold blooded killer (a plan) so long ago
Long time ago a killer me I don’t think so!
Civilised citizen but no holy Joe!
