Good guys always lose the fight
because they hesitate to pull the trigger
it don't take rocket science to figure
it ain't easy to put out the light.
Bad guys always lose cos they spend
time gloating and telling their story
of how clever they are, all spattered and gory
till the writer works out the proper end.

I would like to say
Bad guys always lose the battle
but I can't think of a rhyme for battle.
Hmmm....,Hmmmm.....
Rattle , prattle atlatl, cattle, sprattle, any of these help?
hey Jess,
I like the theme! although in my experience, the bad guys seem to make out better in the end. but they lose in the dignity and honor columns, in my book. I think this is worth expanding on. rhymes for battle: cattle, rattle, prattle and tattle are ones that come to mind. (and saddle)
ps
I'll fix my entry in an hour. thanks :)
That's kind of the point, in the last line
it's only writers that tend to insist on happy endings with the good guys winning (depending on who you're barracking for. I tend to be on the side of Eddy Styx, Alex Machette and their ilk). Hmmm, I'll wait for a bit more feedback to see if I need to make that point more clearly. I prefer writing short, haikus and limericks and stuff, if I can still say what I need to. The 3 things I wanted to say here are why good guys hesitate to kill, why bag guys do and what writers do.
Prattle is good, and tattle, I can work with that, thanks.
I see
sorry for the misunderstanding. another good rhyming word is: addle
eddy says hi and hello to Alex,
;) Cat
No need to apologise.
I wrote it, it's up to me to make sure you get it.

Who named my name?
Uhoh, now you've done it, Cat!
who is good and who bad
who is good

with closed eyes

oh, you forgot to wave your hands and say "look at me! look at me! read my poems!"
