At first glance, displaying only charm
No-one knew the extent of the harm
One man could cause with just his arm
To cheering crowds, screams and whoops
He commanded “March!” and made them jump through hoops
When it all went wrong, he shrugged an “oops?”
You see, he never made his minions swear
He simply made the dress they’d all wear
And whispered sweet nothings into their ear
Did you miss it, did he make you blink?
Evidence gone, a vanishing link
Let’s hope these laws were signed in ink
As the last word of each line loses a letter, does that make it more or less powerful? What effect does it have on the way the poem is written?
