Enemies of the Sonnet Man- "the Landlord"
The Landlord is a powerful person,
So once a month my mind is full of doubt,
And I watch as my battle scars worsen,
While trying to avoid getting kicked out.
It really is "hard out here for a pimp,
When trying to raise money for the rent,"
Because, when The Landlord knocks, I go limp,
Since the rent money was already spent.
And, I hate when he just stands at the door,
Trying to see if he can break my will,
With me under the bed, facing the floor,
Wishing that I had a different skill.
This will be a battle that rages on,
And I will stay here until he is gone.
