Listen to poem:

This Guy

They knew what to do with this guy:
they took Benny into captivity.
They knew what to do with this guy:
they certainly wanted activity.

He knew what to do with these guys:
he glared so his eyes would pierce.
He knew what to do with these guys:
he made those eyes look so fierce.

They knew what to do with this guy:
they truly manhandled his frame.
They knew what to do with this guy:
they kicked him, they wanted to maim.

He knew what to do with these guys:
he suddenly gave a sly smile.
He knew what to do with these guys:
from killing him they were a mile.

They knew what to do with each other:
such smiles and such glares were so many.
They knew what to do with each other:
A thing known so well by our Benny.

Exchange of such violence for guys
is clearly a thing of their choosing.
Exchange of such violence for guys
can be so much fun, so amusing.
