Building a deathbox for the enemy to find Concealed entrance, lethal aid inside for being so unkind Not to big, not to small Evil body shaped for evil to crawl To meet their destiny Revenge for the fall We tried non-lethal but lethal aid is the way To stem the fight To stop the afray Checking inside for the number killed Is a bloodthirsty task, an uneasy chill Removing the bodies is an arduous task Left out for the red-kite The dinner table is vast Reset the mechanism, conceal the top deck Ready for the next wave Ready to wreck

Deathbox
Building a deathbox for the enemy to find Concealed entrance, lethal aid inside for being so unkind Not to big, not to small Evil body shaped for evil to crawl To meet their destiny Revenge for the fall We tried non-lethal but lethal aid is the way To stem the fight To stop the afray Checking inside for the number killed Is a bloodthirsty task, an uneasy chill Removing the bodies is an arduous task Left out for the red-kite The dinner table is vast Reset the mechanism, conceal the top deck Ready for the next wave Ready to wreck
I built a rat trap initially using non lethal mechanisms but it didn't work. I swapped to killing machines and they have been successful. Have been thinking about the parallels in real life and how a trap could trap 'the enemy'
