Why don't you take time and meet,
The poor thief who won't die.
We did hang him by his feet
O'er a bridge on high.
Not so cruel as to leave him there
We did on each Wednesday feed
The fool hung out where
His thoughts strayed from material need
A few weeks down the line
As his legs now that much longer
We felt he had done his time
Tied again! Make his arms grow stronger
Next exhibit you shall see
The murderous bastard
With his murderous glee
So let's be off to teach that dastard!
We took him to the local river
Upon a ducking stool he'd lie
Ducked him til he ceased to quiver
Though ensured he would not die
And so we take to mortal alley
Given over to the knowledge of pains
His body the room did sully
And to this day, this wrath remains
Our last friend on this spate
An evil doer, invader, the crime
He's in and down for rape.
How will he spend his time?
Whilst he was once well hung
We took the hanging for a treat
The organs, they were well wrung
'Til an unfortunate fate they'd meet
Now strapped to the floor
The peccant, malignant love
To contemplate his small won war
The story on the ceiling above
To leave these foe
To regret in woe
Perhaps they will, once, be forgiven
Out in the next world they do live in
Author notes
As I read the briefing, I realised how well informed a person this must be with a great imagination, not even matched by her astounding glow in the dark nail polish, I was amazed! It made see how it is tat I'm a little teapot, sort and green, doubtless this philosophical metaphor is deep, and resonating with the degree to which I have read the rules, understand, and agree to abide by them. I felt such a wave of calm flow over me as it struck me. Thank you for making this awesome contest!!

I love it! I was half-laughing and half-in awe as I read. The rhyme and flow were wonderful, although I believe you left a letter or two out of a couple words, so that may have interrupted me a bit in my reading. Due to an injured finger, I have to keep this short, so let me end by saying that you forgot to tell me your option number and which contest (even though it's easy to figure out), and you did a wonderful job!
BOL,
~Avan~
