Contaminated Friendly Latrine

Peter Pan thrown inward, outward--hails of friendly fire
Nut borne bacteria killed bravery
shot it hopping a fence, contaminated.

It rose in the west, salmonella stung eyes
Snubbed the royal revellers
Sniped Victoria and forgot our hero.

Danced in the Sherbert Mardis Gras
Infected the comrades
Showered and slipped down the latrine.
