Oh, be fair - I read it on my mobile phone quickly and then deleted it (as I do with all the poems Poemhunter sends me)....and I didn't get that it was a trick....it read to me as if he did cut his throat but not deeply enough to kill him. But, as I said it was only a quick read.
But, the subject of the ballad wasn't a problem for me. What puzzles me, with this and a good deal of the other famous poems that I read is that they are nothing special. I've seen much better poetry here on pigpen....so why aren't you all famous?
