Cause for Worry
He scratched your back, now he needs bail;
It’s payback time cause he’s in jail.
This pest has tagged your buttonhole.
A cause for worry, you poor soul.
Of course, he needs money, bold cash;
and you fear potential backlash.
One-time friend? Consider pest control;
some cause for worry, you poor soul.
He ‘knows’ you’ll help him, good buddy.
TV news reports quick study -
the judge has ruled against parole.
Less cause for worry, you poor soul.
More news details - "pest" has no clout.
It may be years before he’s out;
he lied in court; he’s dug a hole.
No cause for worry, you poor soul…
