Milk the Wrestler

Milk the Wrestler, holding court,
boasts of all the things he wrought
with full nelsons and headlocks:
Mormon swings; atomic drops….
Boston crabs and body slams.

Milk the wrestler while he growls –
while he grapples; while he howls.
Milk the wrestler as he crawls
away from soul-destroying falls.

Milk the Wrestler pulled his groin
dancing in the Tenderloin.
Screaming from the pain, he fell
through the closet into Hell…..
where he rested for a spell.

Milk the wrestler while he growls –
while he grapples; while he howls.
Milk the wrestler as he crawls
away from soul-destroying falls.

Wrestler’s new identity:
Set all other wrestlers free!
Wrestler’s new strategy:
be yourself for all to see….
that much more indemnity.

Milk the wrestler while he growls –
while he grapples; while he howls.
Milk the wrestler as he crawls
away from soul-destroying falls.
