Numpty

Sucker punched from down under
Ill intent, not a blunder
Your words don’t impress 
Don’t bash the U.S.
Who’s the numpty, I wonder

I think this is so well deserving of Poem of the 'WEAK' cos the numpty is a loser in my eyes lol, Bashing the US on a site run by Americans is not one of his greatest ideas!:-)Hugs Jan
