Impossibilities

Can you image an exploded hall 
That retained every bombed wall? 
A from–a–tree–top fall 
That didn’t disfigure The Tall? 
A loud pathetic yelp 
That wasn’t a call for help? 
Overnight, a murderer losing his skill 
To brutishly kill? 
Getting into a million dollar bet 
While one wasn’t near set?

And can one presume a reign 
That recorded no pain? 
A man ruled a Veritable Sage 
Who hadn’t come of age?
A powerful claim to a brain 
One had failed to train? 
A truly idiotic doll 
That didn’t out the tongue loll?
