A poem for your illumination

The impact I have on other people is...

Chiefly governed by which part of my body I use...

anything from a sort of limp slap
to a cracking right upper cut
from a kinda windy useless flap
to a hefty kick in the butt

Reduce you to a sopping sobbing dribbling mess
with a stinging heartfelt rebuke
or a vitrioloc tirade of hideous abuse
that would make even a deaf man puke

You name it and it happens
It darned difficult to understand
How the impact of my open heart
Is more powerful than that of my hand

Particularly if I throw it really hard...

...SPLAT!
