A Free Verse poem

Bad Guy

by Jim Wile

Free Verse Contest Winner 
 
    No rhymes you say? Surely you jest!
    Okay, I’ll defer to your request command.
    I’ll warn you right now, it’s tough for me
    To write without rhyming as you can see figure out.

    You’ve thrown down the gauntlet, I must obey:
    Omit all rhyming, and don’t go astray wayward,
    Or I’ll be disqualified, can’t break the rules
    'Cause then you'll take me for a fool jerk.

    Enjoy the poem for the contest I wrote,
    There isn’t a rhyme as I’m sure you’ll note see:
 
 
                                             Bad Guy
 
            That guy over there who appears to be rich,
            Walks over folks like a son-of-a-gun.
            Better watch out ‘cause he has a knack
            For stabbing his enemies in the gut.

            Better not cross him, it’s rather bizarre:
            He’ll hunt you down both near and not near,
            And if he should catch you, he’ll make you pay.
            You’ll be lucky to live for another 24 hours.
