I'm a Mean Old Man

by Michael

I'm a mean old man, that's the truth.
I even step on little ants.
They'd better not get in my pants!
I only drink straight eighty proof.

I pull lights off lightning bugs,
egg dogs and cats just for some fun,
will key your car and then I'll run.
I really don't get into hugs.

I'll say you're stupid for a laugh.
I'll steal your mail before it's sent.
I'm mean I say, ya need a hint?
I'll pour cold water in your bath.

I'll trip on your stairs, then I'll sue.
I save the wings of butterflies,
can't tell the truth, just packs of lies.
There's not much else there's worth to do.

I pick at kids with backwards hats.
While eating out I am so rude.
I tell them this is awful food.
I think all children are such brats.

My next door neighbor called me "punk."
I put a fish in his hubcap,
while he was taking a short nap.
Oh man, it gagged me how it stunk.

I'm mean I say and proud of it.
I steal the nests from baby birds.
I use all kinds of nasty words
and I don't even care a bit.

But even mean guys have to sleep.
Wake me up and I'll kick your butt!
I'm sure you think that I'm a nut.
It's true I'm mean, but I'm no creep.

Aw c'mon you're a creep too! When ya do those things it's against all moral laws...... I laughed throughout....he he It's a good poem!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

you say your so mean
the things you do are cruel
you know what your gonna get
if you keep on breaking the golden rules
a swift kick in the rear
and a sock in the jaw
for being so mean,oh
you think you know it all
