POETRY FIFTY WAYS Two strong hands around her throat A gun, a knife, a leaky boat A rusty nail in her shoe A man eating tiger from Chester Zoo An electric shock, a tarantula in bed Half a house brick over her head A drop of poison in her tea To be stung by a swarm of bees A hired assassin, a poison dart Some broken glass in a Bakewell Tart A loosened nut on the wheel of her bike To be impaled on a sharpened spike To get knocked down by a double-decker bus To fall of a cliff, with just a slight push A karate kick, or a blow to the neck Playing poker in Dodge City with a phoney deck To be thrown into a pit of snakes Or drive a car with faulty brakes Hit over the head with a bottle of Becks Or have a night of unsafe sex To go swimming in a sea of sharks Ride without lights in the dark To become a victim of a witches curses Or write a sequel to Satanic Verses Spend an evening listening to Leonard Cohen songs Try holding your breath under the water for to long Smoke forty fags a day Tell Giant Haystacks that he's gay Take a holiday in a war zone Eat British beef off the bone To shout "Liverpool are shite," in the Kop Or ask Sweeney Todd for a little more off top To have a lover break your heart Or mark the score while I'm playing darts Commit a murder, and pay the ultimate price To go out skating on thin ice Play Russian Roulette, when you're in bad luck Stand in front of a runaway truck Hitch a ride with a psychotic killer To be suffocated with a fluffy pillow Wait for an operation on an N.H.S. list Drive a car when you're Brahms and Liszt Buy a house near Sellefield Be told to stand and deliver but refuse to yield Cut the grass with a faulty mower There are fifty ways to kill your lover!!
