I want to bring my sword to school
but mom
says I shouldn't
do it,
even if the bullies
are
bigger and scarier than
me;
cause it's illegal.
She
says I need to use my WORDS!
I need
to stand DEFIANT!
I need
to start SHOUTING
on the
PLAYGROUND!
So I
wrote a speech of defiance one day
to
stand up to them, and it sounded like this:
You
think you can pummel Poseidon?
LORD OF
THE SEA?
You
haven't met me... apparently!
I'll
skewer all your
shish-ka-bobs
on souflaki spikes
and
make a
Twizzler
Pull n' Peel
out of
your
soda-pop
you
soda-jerk.
Not to
mention I'll
cold shank
your
face in a cemetery
just to
bury your stench
with my
socket-wrench
which I
brought with me
for the
express purpose of
fixing
your ugly stupid... face!
It was
awesome,
totally
liberating,
and
100% earth shattering,
and
when I yelled it
at the
top of my lungs in defiance
I
actually managed to drop the phone right before
that
part about his ugly face.
I'd like to think I was being merciful,
like a Samurai.
Hey Ian, just stopping in to let you know that this poem is great. The end was a little confusing, but it rose chuckles from my gullet. Good poem.
