I had wanted to write a poem about the river Ganges because i liked the sound of the word but knew nothing about it so I googled and that was the first article that came up.
The title with the added article definitely made it alot easier to understand this piece, I kind of liked the mystery that surrounded it before though, but maybe I was just so surprised by the content on the first read. Ever since that "holey, holey, holey" line of yours I'm always on my toes with your pieces, that said I didnt even read "stench of death" as a cliche until you mentioned it in the comments. I guess it could be(I've certainly heard stench/death before)? It still reads great to me. Thanks for sharing,

I am glad everything seems to work for you and, yah, I have a reputation for writing a lot of puns. Thanks for reading and commenting.
