Sling Blade

The man a self proclaimed gay
One day was talking to Sling Blade

The man who was gay
Declared,"I believe people are under estimating you, Sling Blade.

I believe that behind that exterior
You are very deep thinker on the interior

What were you thinking just now
Please tell me lets just have a pow wow

Come on Sling Blade tell me your thoughts
What's going on inside I haven't bought

That exterior facade'
Tell me what words you've played

What was you thinking just now".
Sling Blade says, "Well how  I like mustard with these French Fried Potates wow"

"No! no! not that Sling Blade."
Said the man that was gay

"Before that what thoughts in your head"
Sling Blade answered, "Not a thing instead."

The man that was gay
Looked at him twice and did say

"Oh!"

(Movie called "Sling Blade" has really been stuck in my mind.  Sling Blade spent years in 
a mental institution for the murder of his mother and her lover.  Actually"Sling Blade" was an 
abused child that had the traits of a psychopath probably because of the abuse. But I 
gathered that he was a deep thinker but kept it hidden and was unable to connect 
emotionally because  of the abuse."
