Never Underestimate

when you're pestered by a glib insurance dude
    and you wanna be alone without being rude,

when every corner you turn leads to a deadend
    as you flee from your probation officer, my friend, 

when you're chased by your most dreaded creditors
    and their shadows close in on you inside elevators,

when from cultic lunatics there's no way out at all
    and they push  you against your will against the wall,

you can outwit them in a manner cool as a slamdunk,
    you need not carry a gun, just learn from the skunk,

don't give up,  don't give in, don't you lose heart,
    never underestimate the potent power of your fart !
