“The Final Word by Stewart Stafford

On the wall of a prominent jacks,
Came anonymous, scurrilous attacks,
Innuendo and defamatory jibes,
Scrawled by cowardly scribes,
Dared the executioner鈥檚 axe.

And whoever wrote the indecent graffiti,
Would never say it to the King in a meeting,
He鈥檇 cry: 鈥極ff with their heads,鈥�
Then sleep safely in bed,
Having the final word takes some beating.

And as they walked to an undignified death,
No sarcastic words came from their breath,
They were up for the chop,
On the executioner鈥檚 block,
And would plead it was all for a bet.

So if you鈥檝e ill words planned,
Remember to keep them in hand,
Or the butt of your jokes,
Becomes your executioner鈥檚 host,
And that鈥檚 the end of your brand.
