Bullying Is a Despicable Crime
Bullying Is a Despicable Crime
By Elton Camp
Teenage Jody moved to a new school
The local bully treated him as if a fool
In hope that the battle might be won
Jody tried to take it in a spirit of fun
When he refused to violently retaliate
The cowardly bully intensified his hate
Jody often would slip away and hide
But the bully would soon be at his side
“Hey there, you ugly and stupid nerd.
That you are a sorry *** I have heard.”
What will the final result come to be
From his tormentor will Jody get free
Will he continue to put up with the strife
Or may he perhaps come to take his life
Or perchance there will come to be a day
Jody brings a gun, the bully to blow away
