POEM:

SOME PEOPLE

Some people really make me feel so ill
That I just wish I could go out and kill.

If only it was legal would the deeds
Be executed, as I’d make them bleed.

By that, I’d be talking a swimming pool
Full of blood, for I don’t mesh well with fools.

If some people think they can start problems,
Then I’d have my own way of solving them.

Don’t think undertakers can’t be hired;
They would, in the event of a fire.

And so what if I’d end up wearing cuffs?
Because I won’t let some people act tough.

That’s right, not one person will get away
With provoking me, no matter the day.
