    \n
  1. Corralled inside a pen, all lured by change and hope.<\/li>\n
  2. Shuffled through gate and chute, each coaxed by rod and rope.<\/li>\n
  3. Scanned for tattoo and tag, then pushed inside the booth.<\/li>\n
  4. And once the curtains part, each learns the grisly truth.<\/li>\n
  5. Before their very eyes, they see the ugly beast,<\/li>\n
  6. Two heads upon its back, four eyes desiring feast.<\/li>\n
  7. One head is bloody red, the other deathly blue<\/li>\n
  8. Both growl, and drool, and snarl, and lick, and sniff, and chew.<\/li>\n
  9. They step onto the box, and stand so deathly still.<\/li>\n
  10. The beast extends its arms, its mouths await their swill.<\/li>\n
  11. Its hands latch onto teats, the left and, too, the right.<\/li>\n
  12. And milked them dry of X, their stomach knotted tight.<\/li>\n
  13. The beast took in its hands the cup of dreams once sown.<\/li>\n
  14. Drank all without a care, and climbed onto its throne.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
