Measuring the Worst Rape

I have the criminalizing tape For measuring the worst rape And appropriately dealing with the Debased Ape: The length of time victim’s mouth had remained agape And the rapist’s victorious shouts of YEE-EP! The ‘I-can-choke-you-to death!’on her nape And victim’s tightening teeth of sour grape; Also, her dozen-times-tried-dozen-times failed escape And the iron pants she would now over the poor thing drape.
