The Bullies' Dogs

He has a lot of visitors Who just drop by by the neighbors They have one common interest For a penny, they'd do their best A young woman with recurring song Thought she had not done any wrong All that she does is blow defame Without even knowing his name Then comes a young man with a haggard look That for a crook, you could mistook He barks the same words again and again Just like a dog with damaged brain An old woman who knows him not Comes by the neighbor in a cloaking hat She thinks she knows him all his days But she don't even know his face Why do these people denigrate For just a piece or slice of meat? Have their world already gone crazy That they could kill for just a penny? Life could be harsh, but it could be greater If only they would try to be better But they choose to be a cheat For they don't want to drip a sweat April 1, 2023
