My head is pounding with thoughts of aggravation

as a human I can understand personal flaws

But as a person I cannot stand for lies

smiles with deception sown on a face

milk and honey pours out as words began to flow

in my mind a saying rings loud " I wasn't born yesterday "

I stand here as the crap piles up and you shovel it in my direction

I have a question do you always cross your fingers when you start to speak?

You do know creatures of habit are their own defeat

Your accomplishments with me make the name DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDREL sound so nice and clean

The twinkle in your eyes shine with greed

Your loss of virtues is at such an unusual speed
