There's something in your manners
Of which you may not be aware.
Well, I shouldn't say,"your manners,"
When there are no manners there.

You're boisterous and presumptuous,
But let me be more simple
And try to infiltrate a brain
Barely bigger than a pimple.

You talk too much, you slouch around,
Your clothes and body stink.
You interrupt when others speak,
You make noises when you drink.

You break wind with abandon;
Your laugh is coarse and raw.
You throw food down your gullet
Into your swollen, gassy maw.

You're only as refined
As a mange-infected dog.
I'd rather spend an evening with an unenlightened hog.

You've never learned the difference
Between crudity and wit.
You're nothing but a pile of ...
Well, I'd better not say it.

Now have I put things clear enough?
Before it's time to yield the floor.
I'll conclude by merely stating,
"I just don't like you anymore."

What a bit of sarcastic whimsy! I've also been enjoying the poems on your website tremendously!

Dom - this is a terrific poem.  I thought I was the only person writing poems about Balladeer and Toerag - lol.  that's it, Long John.  Get in the first finger-point and ol' 'Deer and Toerag won't be able to claim it's you.  Naturally, I was just kidding *nervous laugh*.

I like the flow of the poem.  The rhythm is consistent, and you did a great job of finishing the poem, which often is the most difficult part.  I enjoyed it tremendously.

Dom now that is so wicked, and I love it. Boy do I know the very person this would fit, but it's a little too subtle, they're so thick they'd think it was a compliment. Great writing, great poem, perfect exit.
