Argyle was born on a Monday
studied psychology on Tuesday
Arrived at insanity on a Wednesday
Was gone that Thursday
took a life on Friday
brought life into the world on Saturday
was in a cemetery on a Sunday
On the first of that month, he haunted a family for a while
the fifth left them relatable and bloodied
the tenth day left a town that did not survive
the fifteenth he possessed a great leader’s love
20th day came fake ransom near a babbling brooked
25th bombs dropped while everyone fought
30th day rendered man closed and time on earth shut
