Bam
A long-haired rocker-looking dude,
In black from head to toe,
Sat near me in the terminal
With several friends in tow.
His t-shirt showed off all his ink,
I couldn't help but see;
A picture of a pistol sure
Intimidated me.
He might have been the sweetest guy
And gentle as a lamb
But his tattoo was shouting out,
"You bother me - and bam!"
We show the world a side of us
So people will take note,
Though rarely think we'll pop up
In a poem somebody wrote.
