Common Law Of Claim
Author: MrAnonymousShould a man steel his feet amongst thee claim,
Steal of feat the man of him in same.
Should a man bear his hand upon thee face
Bare of bone and hand to he his due disgrace
Should a man eye thee fare and dwindling drink
I pronounce it fair and just he water bound to sink.
Should a man linger about your wedded wife
Linger not, you're to show this man's throat the knife.

About this poem:
Just wording around with some play
And no, I don't feel a man's wife is his claim. But many old laws did. It's just a poem.
And yes, I cheated on 'linger'.
Please enjoy.
