Tormentors Rumor Mongers and Instigators

The tormenters tried to bully me. I danced away, acting delighted. This seemed to irritate them But they teased others. The rumor-mongers tried to guilt me. I tossed their guilt into a burn pile And lit it on fire after pouring on lighter fluid. Their mouths flew open and down. The instigators tried to make me feel badly about my past. I took my own skeletons out and began to dance with them. Part of my skeletons ran them down, attempting to dance with them. It was the best time ever. I would not hesitate to do it again tomorrow.
