The Fate of Five Fingers

Between Peter Pointer and Middle Man,

The nicotine stick sandwiched in fumes,

Tommy Thump warned Peter and Man of ban,

But, the Two would make the room in plumes.

Then from tuberculosis, Ruby Ring suffered,

And infected the little Baby Small;

For injections and medication they feared,

Viciously, the bacteria ran into the veins of all.

Like housewives in frustration, complained to mouth,

For his sea of desires, addiction and gluttony,

Thus, the Five plotted a conspiracy with a grim cloth,

For vengeance was sweeter than honey.

At dawn, the red cloth laid on bed as cold as slate,

The knell was rung for them over icy cold plate.
