Before a Hanging

Christ!
You let a life be priced?
However this thing goes,
Whichever way the wind blows,
This chap has begun to lose!

A mocking last- minute booze
For a throat in a noose
Far from loose:
A booze through a neck
They would soon wreck…

With people asking “Whose”
And whether the neck did this choose?

And soon it shall be on the news
A chap “Practical Roast Goose”
