The Bully

He has an arrogance that can be felt. He’s big and burly not petite or svelte. Smoking two packs a day Frightens good girls away And his breath smells like moldy tuna melt Chastised by neighbors and his old mother Smells like moldy socks of my teen brother Puts his nose in the air Attitude is unfair Rubs us all wrong one way or another

O my, I'd avoid him like the plague. The idea of smelling like "moldy tuna melt" is repulsive enough.
