Mike Hauser Poet Free verse

Pick Your Poison

The hanging of the gallows high

Electric chair is set on fry

Passing out free cyanide

So many different ways to die

Rounding up the firing squad

Wait for it...the go for it nod

The guillotine is set on chop

All it needs is for the blade to drop

They're mixing up the chemicals

To go off at precise intervals

Tying up your arms with coils

Being pulled apart by bulls

Feed you to the crocodiles

The ones that have the biggest smiles

Dragging you for twenty miles

Behind ten horses running wild

You can beg and you can plead

Getting down upon your knees

But sometimes the reading of my poetry

Might just be the worst of these

Cheryl Hoffman September 19, 2016 at 9:09 PM C'mon Mike, calling your poems poison is a bit extreme! They are actually an antidote to it in my opinion!:) Mike Hauser September 19, 2016 at 10:00 PM You my dear are very sweet

Daniel Turner September 19, 2016 at 9:06 PM Very funny, Mike. I think you should know by now, you are an extremely talented writer. I love reading your rhymes. They brighten up my day:) Mike Hauser September 19, 2016 at 9:54 PM Thank you my friend, I've just found the secret to the rhyme and have enough of a warped sense of humor to make it interesting ;0)
