Sufficient Fuel For Duel

On this wait not for Prophet Joel 
Nor for Augury rated Jewel: 
Offensive language Sufficient Fuel 
For what ignites Murderous Duel…
 
One I’d watched sparked off by Noel 
To his shame like unpleasant gruel; 
Keep words picturing like served gruel
For The Jailed by A Jailer cruel: 
“I hate you: Satan’s Emmanuel” 
“As much I you: the Devils Noel.”

Soon, the two on secrets start to dwell 
And the pent-up anger starts to swell, 
Ripe and waiting hard punches and kicks,
Noel involving stones, Emmanuel sticks.
