A Villain's Villanelle

Do you wanna know how I got these scars?
I bet you'd like to know about my life
You know what I am? A dog chasing cars.

My father frequented a lot of bars
And in his pocket he would keep a knife
Do you wanna know how I got these scars?

Oh yeah, my dad was fond of a few jars
He was also keen on violence and strife
You know what I am? A dog chasing cars.

Women are from Venus, men are from Mars
And that was the case with me and my wife
Do you wanna know how I got these scars?

To see her smile, I promised her the stars
In this story too, sharp objects are rife
You know what I am? A dog chasing cars.

Order dies, the cities are abattoirs
Chaos is born and I am the midwife
Do you wanna know how I got these scars?
You know what I am - a dog chasing cars.


RIP Heath

(With thanks to Christopher and Jonathan Nolan)
