The Bully

He has an arrogance that can be felt.
He’s big and burly not petite or svelte.
Smoking two packs a day
Frightens good girls away
And his breath smells like moldy tuna melt

Chastised by neighbors and his old mother
Smells like moldy socks of my teen brother
Puts his nose in the air
Attitude is unfair
Rubs us all wrong one way or another

O my, I'd avoid him like the plague. The idea of smelling like "moldy tuna melt" is repulsive enough.
