There are some people,
in this world,
that should have
their vocal chords cut.
Yes! I mean sliced in two—
preferably with a dull,
tetanus-infected saw.
When air seeps up from the bottom
of their mephitic lungs, and
words have the audacity to form,
the dangling sinews of sound
will break them into pieces
of a barely audible hiss.
At least that way,
they could maintain the illusion
of having a measurable IQ!

Yikes!

Hi Pat
I just put on my iron collar :-)
i say "yikes" too! (the first part reminds me of how i feel about some people trying to sing; vocal chords should be cut out.) ha
If I ever see you face to face I'm going to close my mouth!!
Have Ginsu will travel. Have Pat, will cut up your sorry tuckus into 50,000 pieces and feed it to the yak! Hell hath no fury like a poet scored, I guess.
I swear guys I'm "almost" harmless! Me thinks the comments are better than the poem! Thanks!
wicked! i like.
"almost" harmless, ha!? better not mess up with you anyway :)
Even the worst of 'em, though, are good poetry fodder.
interesting concept...I pretty much think the same about every person I meet, will try slashing off a few throats and let you know how I get on!
Pat, this is so mean and fantastic. I can think of a few people that could use a snip or two to shut them up. I can get my aggressions out with this one. Well done.
This poem brings to mind this image from Whitney's blog:

Very interesting write, Pat.
what wonderful vitriol! I love this - especially "preferably with a dull, tetanus-infected saw"
brilliant.
