Blunderbutt

There was a young man who got mad at us
He started to fume and to fuss and cuss
He said as he sighed
We had definitely lied
When we called his butt a blunderbuss

We surmised he was somewhat in a rut
A dufus, a jerk, anti social, cyber nut
We said with a grin
As we reeled him in
Not Blunder”buss” but a blunderbutt

He said why do you make fun of it
Why laugh and make jokes lacking wit
You know very well 
A tale is a tale
A blunderbutt has no where to sit
