50. Tonpa 1 (Villanelle)

Have you heard of this Tonpa crushing dreams?
If you're not careful, you'll be stamped like leaves.
He gobbles up the rookies and their screams.

Especially with that brute and his schemes,
In this exam, not every taker lives.
Have you heard of this Tonpa crushing dreams?

He marches up to Hunter hopefuls, beams,
Equipped with soda laced with laxatives.
He gobbles up the rookies and their screams.

This poisonous concoction masked with creams
Is one of many wildcards up his sleeves.
Have you heard of this Tonpa crushing dreams?

A single sip — their butt bursts past the seams.
The victim's stomach turbulently heaves.
He gobbles up the rookies and their screams.

With stinky feet, he slows down all his teams.
His presence ruins more than it relieves.
Have you heard of this Tonpa crushing dreams?
He gobbles up the rookies and their screams.
