Having enough ties!

Having enough ties!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Mr Rope,
don’t get yourself in knots.
You’re not on trial yet
however, it has come to light
to ask you some questions.
Were you not placed
around someone’s neck
hanging from a high place.
I was told to hold, to support, your Honour.
Did you know the subject?
No, your Honour.
All necks are the same.
And why did you not
use a slip knot?
I felt the subject to be guilty, your Honour.
So you admit to being
an accessory to murder.
To a degree, yes!
Order! Order!
Will all things tied and tried settle down.
I herby sentence you Mr Rope
on the evidence provided
that you be burnt at both ends
until you become a thread.
I hope you cotton on!
Case dismissed.
