Little Red Runt
No? You don't have pity on me? You should!
I'm sure you'd rather be a stick of wood
Food that doesn't smell so good, if you could
~ Rather than be me ...
Spend your days rained on, snowed on
Hailed on, stepped on -- why stop here? --
Spat on, urinated and dumped on
~ Sniff my coat of rancid beer
What I've suffered, what I have endured
From yellow rivers to cursed curs' turds --
The very thought of it all is too gross for words
