Are we going back?
Back to the good old days
Or bad old days?
Depends!

Pain will be palpable
Not easily malleable
Strange noise!
Where is it coming from?

Wonder?
Listen carefully
Coming from down under 6 feet
Slight murmur

What next?
Shackles?
Manacles?
Gruesome spectacles?

Only time will tell!

Thanks to the 6 right wing justices for the inspiration.
