I tried to tell him
but he wouldn’t listen,
keeps on missing
the common sense
we were all given.

He’s got a big mouth
and thick fists
matched by his dim wits,
so, pretty boy ***** is
too big for his lacey britches.

Ruffled some rough feathers
now the big birds are chirping
ready to put a hurt on
this **** that keeps skirting
certain responsibilities.

He can talk a big game,
float lazily on a name,
but when the gang
comes back around again;

He won’t be taking a swim
with his shimmering
salmon friends,
or be fitted for
the new cement style
on the ocean floor.

In fact, he will be lucky if
those redwood chips
aren’t made red with
crimson drips,

and I might try to save him
but I am seriously starting
to prefer avoiding
the whole human herd.
