An Ode To An Exit: Wham! Bam! Thank You Slam! ( a Narrative: Part 3)

2: SLAM verb: SLAMMED; SLAMMING 1.) to strike or beat hard. 2.) to shut forcibly and noisily: BANG 3.) a: to set or slap down violently or noisily. b: to put or set hard. 4.) to make a banging noise. 5.) to criticize HARSHLY. Now, There is another way To look at this verb. Either you're slamming Or getting slammed, Like you deserve. This enthusiasm must not be curved, Because sometimes Words Need to be used To disturb. Sometimes words Need to be used to strike; To be used When you choose To say "TAKE A HIKE!" Take your bike, And, while you're at it, Take this spike, Because we Are free To say whatever we like! The words, That we slam, Are rather hard to beat. The words, That we slam, Are rather hard to greet. Will make you take your seat, Because they are hard to eat, And these words Are rather hard to defeat. They are so hard, That they will never be barred! So hard, That they could never be scarred! And, they are so hard That they will always stand guard, So go ahead, And play all of your cards. Forcibly and noisily, Your mouths will be shut. So your words Will have to turn and burn In your guts. You know what! Don't even waste your time Trying to strut, Since steel sharpens steel, Step to us and get cut! Don't look now, But my sights have been set. You might regret The WORDS, That WE don't even get, But WORDS, That you fret, Will forever be in our debt. Really, This is silly. I did not even want to snap, But I could not ignore your crap, When in our faces you slap! This opportunity To choose a side, Just fell in my lap. So, Into my full potential, I will tap, Making it Officially a wrap. Since you Already made your decision, Please Go ahead And circulate your petition! Because, After you create this division, You should prepare yourself For a serious collision! Being targeted Must be tough. But, before you decide If you want to call my bluff, I have a question, That just might be rough: "Do you think that 'YOU' are being criticized 'HARSH' enough?"
