Question: Have you seen a Tyburn wrestler!?
Dedicated to the poor souls, losers to the gator Tyburn!.
The Alligator Wrestler
Now Tyburn was a smallish gator
and as gators go, he was odd!.
Loved to move to patterns
even chewed the same
Many came to wrestle him
fit, strong, headstrong too!.
But Tyburn just smiled the
old gator grin and dined again
But oh did he love biscuits
even stale, he would sit and beg
Biscuit man always brought biscuits,
laying them down to Tyburn’s delight
But up from the west rose Bayard Lady!.
I’ll tame that Tyburn gator…just you watch!
Oh the great wrestling match was on
But in the end, the gator grinned again
Now from across yonder pond
Rose a granny, fit and spry
And while we slept she wrestled and won!.
Poor Tyburn, never knew the cockney way!
Tis a moral somewhere sure
maybe acrostic for all we know!.
Perhaps Bayard will fill us in…

Sparring is a game I mainly draw away from, most especially
when I don't know the rules or all the players history, But your
poem is dark, light, deep and foremost interesting as usual!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very clever!. The Tyburn is worse than a gator; at least you don't have a headache left after you wrestle with him!. Of course, you don't have a head either!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Deeeelightful! A folktale-poem you have here!. Story is fun and enlightening! What in the blazes is this Tyburn thing!? Has it been created here, or an established form of poetry!?
