Ruination

 

A slash of wrist

A knotted twist

Bottle of booze–a plastic bag

Douse of chloroform on a rag

An ocean plunged

A life expunged

Overdose for stimulation

There is always immolation

Car exhaust

Die from frost

Chambered bullet for Roulette

Do I have one last regret?

I will live another day–

Why you say?

Damn rope broke

Matches-no smoke

Useless blade

Lifeguard saved

Drugs outdated

Alcohol sated

Temperature rose

Nothing froze

Bought a Glock

Wouldn’t cock

Hole in bag

Lost the rag

Tail pipe fell

And what the hell–

                                       Where does one buy chloroform?
