If a Souper Slander My Name

all you write about is them happy old days 
before hair wore thin turned white from grey 
rumour has it bad mouthing my name 
wise men stay away while you complain. 

what is it you don’t like 
how I talk of real life 
downhill sights 
how life bites, 

am I not herpy cherpy enough 
wear a smile on my face 
hurt me hardly not even fazed,
clearly I'm a vile taste 
tough tea teas 
at least I'm honest not slander committees
out to harm whilst hidden weak and witchy. 

see you write of love and nice 
but slag me off like a poltergeist, 
behind my back throwing dice 
shut your face my only advice. 

cus me and you are different ages 
I’m the internet you’re paper pages 
in my prime you’re about to go crazy 
spend all day spaced out and dazy 

whoops the daisy 
looks like you got a raise out me now rose 
I'll bash thee rashly 
head to toe bask then dash free feeding woes. 

picking out a poet with less experience not close 
all those your age make you appear dense in pose 

so got to go low 
shooting like a bozo 
but you should know though 
I’m a rascal make you dizzie in slowmo 

you should never pull my lever 
growing up you wrote with feather 
mister cotton wool I'm the leather bull 

you spread the word make your message fly 
cus I’ll live for sixty years after you die 

that's it conflict over 
leave you old slumped over 
nice to know ya 
not really coward bye now

Congratulations Nick on your 7th place win in the "I sense tomorrow is the future" contest. I especially loved the "herpy cherpy" stanza because you really got with the senses here. Our future names are important to all of us, I sure hope no one speaks badly of you, thanks for joining.
