She Fished the Ice Out of the Water To Stop It Overflowing

If the title is suggestive they watch me 
put their name in it they watch me 
the only time they get attention 
the only time they get a mention 
centre stage, run the show, 
watching me because they know 
I shine a light they glow 
watch the numbers grow 
it’s a sad life that their living 
and it really is a given 
that they lap it up and love it 
when I tell them where to shove it 
that short lived power trip 
to a lifelong sour lip 
yes you were a munter boss 
whose never ever known a loss 
because you’ve never had a lot 
your missing brain and bottom pops 
wishing you were someone hot 
clever interesting you’re not 
sense of humour not a human 
that moustache forever booming 
no man was ever after you 
unattractive daft and rude
but trust me they would laugh at you 
laughing at you not with you
yes you really oughta 
fish the ice out the water 
yes it melts and flows right over 
if you’re that dumb you’re a knower 
that knows nothing at all 
you should have gone to school 
you’re so stupid you will never know 
just how stupid overall
