Helen Of

The *****.

Mightier than the sword?
Flaccid ruler overseeing
an asylum of nuts.

The blade may cut and thrust,
yet an organ driven
by lust
can inflict a
deeper scar.

Kingdoms lost in battle,
which would ne'er have been fought.

Herds of women, 
Like cattle, 
strive to bed the King.
For a ring.

To be his wife,
which alas,
rhymes with
Strife.

Let battle commence.
Methinks a scabbard victory.
