Danny the Pruner
Danny the pruner
fell out of a tree
bounced only once
lay in a lump for
gapers to see
a lover was Danny
renowned in the city
the ladies confirmed
two men and a gurney
swept him away
spoke not a word
till he woke in hell
yelled at the devils
dancing in circles
chanting with glee
a litany of names
of other men’s wives
told Danny he'd soon
have horns of his own
no chance to flee.
