Good for chewing too
preferably after dark,
fangs aint what they used to be.
Edit: I've messed up. Which has led to Pauline messing up. My fault entirely. I finished my last line with seven syllables instead of five...I'm a twit.
Can I change the last line to 'with my dentures in'?

What the hell do I know about poetry?
There's not a bar in the grate.
Rain has issued its final demands-
wet leaves like letters.

Counting the beats,
Counting the slow heart beats,
The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats,
Wakeful they lie.

All that I had I brought,
Little enough I know;
A poor rhyme roughly wrought,
A rose to match thy snow:
All that I had I brought.

With bone symmetry
the three bears construct
a grisly house.
