Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

Different Strokes

5/16/17 

Another foe 
Pulling low blows 
Trying to put me six feet below 
But no 
That wasn't the way I will let it go 
So 
They got took out by the undertow 
In a strong water flow 

Then the reaper in a dark robe 
Took another body and soul across the globe 

They kept wanting to gloat 
About being the goat 
And were left to sink or float 
Within a moat 
Didn't always have to use a boat 

Those that kept trying to boast 
Got a rope 
Around the throat 
Then choked 
And croaked 

Different strokes, for different folks 
Still life is not a joke 
Especially when you're broke 

From coast to coast 
Any that attempted to provoke 
Or attack through dagger and cloak 
Were toast 
And buried among oaks 
On hills with or without slopes 

Whether popular or remote 
Any who poached 
Were given no hope 
And looked at like an oaf 
Quickly gone with the wind like smoke
