<poem> | |||
I take the cue from | |||
Certain people I know | |||
I use the cue | |||
And then I hand it on to you | |||
And when I swing it | |||
So, it catches his eye | |||
Weren't you there? | |||
- You'd have died! | |||
I trust the views of | |||
Certain people I know | |||
They look at danger | |||
And they laugh their heads off | |||
Their clothes are imitation | |||
George the 23rd | |||
Don't you find this absurd? | |||
I'd hate to be like | |||
Certain people I know | |||
They break their necks | |||
And can't afford to get them fixed | |||
</ | They'd sacrifice all | ||
Of their principles for | |||
Anything cashable | |||
I do believe it's terrible | |||
