The Man

Reading Time: 1 minute

The Man comes around
Earliest she found
Chose tights over gown

The Man comes around
Left early off town
Follow her heart’s sound

The Man comes around
Decades she got pound
Her spirit burned down

The Man comes around
She came back to town
She need to calm down

The Man comes around
The soonest she found
Straight fire background

The Man comes around
She went to second round
In first place she mound

The Man comes around
Her smile turned to frown
Flame’s not burning down

The Man comes around
She gave a countdown
Those who are in doubt

The Baddest looked down
The Man comes around?
The Man got called down

The mad Queen went down
The Man wants her crown
All chaos broke down

It’s gonna fall down
Their power outbound
House burned to the ground

The Baddest taken down
The Queen lost her crown
The Man comes around

Hail from first town
The Man came around
She’s now the foregound

Congratulations to the new Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champion, “The Man” Becky Lynch, the winner of the first-ever women’s main event of WrestleMania! Here’s to a lengthy reign; two championship titles look great on her!

And better luck next time perhaps, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. Ω

Notes

Topic/Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at writing a senryu⁴, and it briefly describes what I think will happen at WrestleMania 35’s WWE Championship match (one of the best veteran wrestlers in the world The New Daniel Bryan versus The New Day member and multiple-time WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston.)

LII: On Undertaker’s Birthday and Being Thankful To All

March 24 is the birthday of my favorite professional wrestler of all time Mark Calaway, most popularly known as The Undertaker.

I will save the lengthy to another post; I have written a tribute to him almost two years ago. Yes, he did returned for a few more matches (notably against John Cena at WrestleMania 34). And yes, for the past 2 years I have grown fond of more athletic wrestlers like Finn Balor, Kenny Omega and Aleister Black. But the bittersweet moment I felt at the end of WrestleMania 33 and my overall appreciation for The Deadman still stands. He is still my top favorite competitor on any era, and his legend will live on forever.

Thank you, Undertaker, for all you have done in the ring, and for being a huge part of my life. Happy birthday, Deadman.

Speaking of thanks, I would also like to take this time to thank everyone I met, known and befriended through the years either as The Deranged Writer or the man behind the masked persona.

I know I have been melancholic lately again, and it shows on my recent series of depressing poems here on The Dispatch. And I also know I have been a huge burden lately. But don’t worry. It will be over soon. Everything will be over soon.

I wish I can thank all of you one by one right now. But thank you. All of you. Ω
