Stop

Now don't read this verse If you think you're behind it. (I concocted this poem, Yet I should have resigned it.) I just whipped out my keyboard And I started to type. The words, they came flowing! (Are you buying this hype?) See it's mean in its spirit And cruel in its way -- But, man, I am a poet with a god-awful day! So I'm taking you down And I'm shouting you out. (While I'm giving you grief I am hoping you pout.) A most ethical guy Has just sent me to packing -- He was feeling "conflicted." (Might his courage be lacking?) Oh, did that make you angry? I am so sorry dude. I warned you not to read it. (Perhaps it's you who was rude?) And as far as signs go I have held this one high. It's your fault you ignored it. (Oh, yes: "Stop" means "goodbye!")
