Chew On That

People who never met me don't know me Those who don't know me never met me They think I'm bad I know I'm bad Even dangerous if you need to know You know those things on top of toothpaste made of plastic That keep the product safe, secure and fresh Well, I have been known to remove them Because I am notorious, I throw them in the trash That's right. Yeah. Me. I'm bad, really bad And that's not all Sometimes I become malicious I don't close the cover before striking matches I leave them open And I don't even smoke It is no joke I disobey the rules Don't tip my hat to ladies when in public I don't even own a hat That's how bad I am in point of fact When walking on the street I step on cracks Walk on the other side, even if it is not there That's how mean I can be And did I say, I'm bad I'm bad and glad I am So keep your distance Your hair looks fine and pretty When I finish with my chewing gum Who knows what I'll do next

Hi Michael, Thanks! Glad you liked it. I wanted to add "stirring tea in a counter clock wise motion" just to prove how radical the character could be and "walking up the down moving escalator at the mall" but I did not want a long poem. Short and silly is the order of the day. Have a great day. Earl
