Rating: 5.0


GRUESOME SPEED

Immaterial of apparel,
Having had no dazzle,
Whether or not in frazzle,
Or on razzle
You, on wheel,
Chase no more than thrill.

Life is like a rill
Meandering on gravel
Mixed with beryl;
May be a riddle,
Embellished with frill

Running with devil
Truly, peril;
Excruciating drill
Causes trill
Being a brill
Know what, grill
Even behind grille!

Being brittle,
Atop anvil,
Would your shrill
Help save a bristle?

What use of cavil,
When your yell
Doesn't worth a rattle!
No cause to growl!

Speed, surely, will
End in hell,
And, that's evil's will.
