To stem the longing
Apply a tourniquet of reason.
Don't expect it to stay put if you do it yourself.
You'll never have the guts to
rip up that favourite shirt
and tighten it hard and fast.
A hero is needed to administer
strong antiseptic alcohol
and a hunk of rope to bite on
when the pain kicks in.
Geronimo.
Heigh ho Silver.
Lassie, go get help.
