Stiff's The Door.
Waiting to be contended
Champion stood watching from his chosen arena
his soon-to-be victim: A Fifteen-Foot WALL
looking down on him --Rang! th'bell
and Champion immediately let go his trumpets
marking Victory (impending)
& then struck up drums! (with the
appropriate tempo of terrible Triumph) and
rushed fully on Th'Wall (which just standing there
calmly poured down boiling oils upon him
& a couple-a tons-O bricks!
all over th'burnt-to-a-crisp & badly bruised (body)
of poor Good Champion
staggering backwards & giving the
first round to Th'Wall...)
"Maybe," thought Champion: "Just maybe
them trumpets weren't sufficiently martial, or
th'drums weren't beating out loudly enough
an impressive roll of confident Triumph..." So
he ordered up additional trumpets,
brought in a drummer from Detroit
with a nervous condition, and again
he sallied out to assail Th'WALL
again broken all up pretty badly by
the impregnable Wall (straightening out
his tool) Champion thought: "Well
now," whilst they scraped him off the floor
into th'bucket,
"At least: I am The One
with The Option (to attack)!" and spit out
his few remaining teeth over his blackened
hands--And not just only to put out the fire
still smoldering, but: "Maybe," thought th'
Champion: "Just maybe if I add a
couple-a-maracas & a few strings..."
