Out for Blood

Chalk-dust assault
raw paws scratch claws,

garble gauche games
mavericks salvage many,

say that fate thanks
martyr masks mate,

master impanel slaves
crazed craters rave,

gators gamble graves
laughter ramble paves,

snakes wait farther east
lakes baiting salty sands,

tarry about fairer faces
scary as asphalt races,

stakes may harden brains
pray spare raging manes.
