The man gazed at her

And said ”I never loved another.”

But to me he looked like a wolf

About to eat his grandmother.

 

In the midst of all this

Another fifty pounds of steel,

And I’ll lose my spleen.

 

The staff had the paramedics

Guarding the door.

They took knee-guy away

And put him on Albuterol.

 

After this session

I’m home and distracted,

I read FBI warrants,

And guess what’s redacted.
