NO LONGER LISTENED TO.

I found a finger on the end of my hand,
A further three and a thumb to command,
With another on the other arms’ end,
And a torso in between to attend.

Two thighs with their knees close together,
And slender calves hanging below,
One foot on the edge of forever,
And a second a lifetime ago.

A short neck away from the hangman,
Where a couple of chins have appeared;
Features beyond those of strangled,
And a forehead with more head each year.

Two holes in the sides filling inwards,
Two more in the front falling out,
And nothing between but opinions
Unable to exit a mouth,

As you’ve stapled it up out of order
To refute all the things that I’ve said,
So I’ve no other way to forewarn you
Than to point finger guns at my head.
