The Meaning of Trebuchet



Trebuchet

At home I keep a trebuchet
For those times when I might get
Salesmen selling in my doorway.
I say, "Hello, please sit right here!"
And hurl them to goodness knows where
With my machine built for throwing away.

Hailing from the days when kings
And queens used them for throwing things
At cities under siege in days of war,
Like a catapult to throw
Rocks and other missiles though
Salesmen were not what they were for!
