Sneaker Speakers



Sneakers that move on a hard bounce,
talking trash a lot ...
you don’t wanna put those feet 
in your mouth
Irreverent voices of frivolity,
issuing utterances of demeaning words
Squashing low-esteem bugs is guaranteed ... 
sneaker speakers love to be heard
But I ain’t really listening to a word they say,
simple-minded speech don’t swish my sway
And the trash just keeps spewing out
from their enamel pie hole,
double dribbles piling up funky bold
There be a lot of unathletic sneaker voices
being sold I’m told
Pot-bellied speakers that look graying and old
Politician playground trash talk
tweet bouncing on the cyber asphalt
Locker room misogynist speakers
is fake rubber bottom lips being bought
Synthetic vulcan words ... verbal trash that rots  
Believe me,
you don’t wanna put those sneakers
in your mouth
So keep your ears open, 
and your mouth shut
when in doubt
