INSTINCTS #26: ‘Torrid Turnabout’ by John H. Dromey

Please enjoy this month’s INSTINCTS poem, ‘Torrid Turnabout’ by regular contributor, John H. Dromey!

         Torrid Turnabout

        John H. Dromey

Slay a ryu or go

Out in a blaze of glory

Goku’s plan backfired

He turned tail and ran

The dragon’s breath scorched the seat

Of Goku’s trousers
