Just Say No
Facing mounting pressure to do
What you really don't want to do?
That's easy as pie; holler a firm no!
Saddled with white elephant unasked for?
Say no and quickly return to sender!
The cackling devil tempts you
With enticing bait,
And threatens dire consequences
Should you reject it? Just do. Say hell no!
Beat him at his own diabolical game;
Make him taste his vile medicine
Should he tell you to dance for him.
Yes, it's funny to tell him lies, my chum.
Just tell him..."I'm sorry, I've got two left feet!"
