Targeted Poem by Ima Ryma

Boris Karloff, one of his last
Performances came when he played
An old film actor who's time passed,
His fiction horror now real made.
In the film, Boris told a tale
Of how death, she will not allow
Any target to let death fail
By trying to escape somehow.
This 'Targets' scene just took him one
Take and other actors and crew
Stood applauding his perfection.
But truth of the tale Boris knew.

He waited patiently for her.
Within a year death came for sure.
