Billy Joel Redux

I keep writing these poems, and then I delete
'bout an unpleasant subject I found in a tweet
if you saw what I wrote, you would prob'ly agree
I was dropped as a child and something's just not right about me

You can ignore the verses, you can love 'em or leave 'em
But whatever you do, don't you ever believe 'em
Had a one oh six fever before I was three
I would blame meningitis, but truth is, it's probably me
