Here's a hyperbolic story 'bout a fight
Maybe an allegory as I finish this write
As I throw ten rights followed by a left
By line nine, some may call for the ref
After a left uppercut knocks out eight teeth
Or when seven nouns pound underneath
Knocked down after the sound of six assonance
Fix of five analogy tragedies of epic consequence
Avoiding a sequence of four more metaphors
Jabbed with three similes as hard as concrete floors
Making you head for the door after haiku times two
Cataclysm of euphemisms causing one to be through

Have fun, life is serious but balance will save my sanity
Definitely like your sibilance and assonance in this countdown, Sir Damon

"four more metaphors" that line is tight.
Having fun with rhymes is the best.
Well done sir.

Such an awesome idea! Executed marvelously. Very smooth word play & well spaced imagery. Moved fluidly. Cool & dynamic.
