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 By: Dalton Ogletree
