Take the body, the sections are shuffled
hold your anger, identities are muffled;
old English game lends thoughts for rhyme
trick of the deal was to match the lines.

Round faces, a sorry sight with necks too tight
doctor's smock doesn't jive with faces that fright
garden boots will contain legs draped in rain gear
fancy shoes will hold legs covered in stockings shear.

Matches of torsos to the faces above
send messages of peace on banded doves;
lower quarters then fit into the scheme of things
pearly white costumes fit hands with golden rings.

Descriptions of bodies match the report
face kits identify criminals of sorts;
composition of the figure is key to the game
make the connection, or the model stays lame.
