Slam

Wham bam 
thank you ma’am.
This is a slam 
and slam I am.
First and formost
I DON’T like your name.
I live in Pee Dee.
How can I slam someone 
who has the name of my home.
Nope, I’ll just have to call you
Dis-strower, because you’re 
no destroyer, just a dis thrower.  
Actually I think you are a wuss 
who just pretends
to go off the deepest of the deep ends,
so deep I get the bends 
just from reading your fuss.
If you want to strow some of that stuff
my way I’m here any day.  
I’ve got you covered. 
Just roll those snake eyes 
and I’ll throw them back at you,
Full of hypnosis and lobototosis.
Girlfriend, you’ll think you’re brain dead.
That hurtful dirt you normally spread
will clump up right behind your eyes.
You wont be able to see 
any of those trashy words.
You’ll think you have verbal lock jaw.
You’ll be outgunned in the raw,
in a snowstorm of inuendo, 
pseudo cyber ju jit su, 
combined with verbal ka-ra-tayyyyy.
Come on girl, Charles is here todayyyyy
ready to dance on your playyyy.
savvayyy???
