Paul does not Inspire his Mother

During a terrible New England squall A young blade named Paul escaped a brawl Ran to a public box to make a phone call Asked his mum to pick him up outside the mall She was out with friends, having a ball Made up an excuse, determined to stall He tried to guilt her, her selfish son, Paul for his bribes and lies she did not promptly fall his absentee father had also told tales tall that man had unbelievable chutzpah and gall his mom had been born psychic, inside a caul Paul took an Uber home, the driver drove at a crawl the car stopped dead at a wailing wall run over it, urged Paul who was wearing a shawl the driver would have done this for his mum, she was a doll not for Paul, who was known for being a bully, once and for all.
