Well studied in religion, philosophy and attempted suicide <br />He has finally after years decided all three are useless to him <br />He'd rather kill or be killed than die by his own hand <br />Or that of a major pharmaceuticals company <br />with their hands in the till of the government in an attempt <br />to collect the yet unpaid benefits of his retirement program <br />He is very intellectual for someone who is prolific <br />as they are generally less verbose when in the company of so many fools.... <br />I hesitate to get to know him better as he does appear to be slightly insane <br />And I myself so prone to spouting off colloquialisms and jargon <br />Would only make him feel more like slicing his proverbial wrist.... <br />Should I choose to spar with him....<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fight-night-a-lesson-in-boxing-someone-around/
