Self Portrait by Leo
The high falutin
rootin tootin
vendors of ignominy
scrape their knuckles
on the floor
on their way
to my door.
I try to put them on ignore
They glare
and blare their evil tune
"It's just not fair"
Boom bada boom bada boom.
The more I give the more
they take for balance sake
say they, hey hey hey
They want to even the score
play a game of tit for tat
give me this I'll give you that
and while you're at it
why not add a cup of sugar
for the poor long lost Susies
who come in droves
followed by Pinocchio
and his long long nose.
(a thing I most abhor)
A pimp of sorts he is
dressed in iridescent clothes
his wooden mouth reports
in vulgar braggadocio
lie after lie after lie.
He says that I must do or die.
O me
O my
O me
O
