Stay Inside of Your Shell

You’re no good. That is my conclusion. You have caused me nothing but trouble. Just get lost. Crawl back into your shell. The world does not need someone like you. Go away. Stay inside of your shell. Do not come out for any reason. Take your shell. Go to another beach. Stay where you are far out of my reach. Robert Pettit for Nette Onclaud’s Parallelogram de Crystalline contest
