Jenna Logan Poet Limerick

Yobos and Bullies

To those who harrass; the yobos we call bullies
I'd gladly string you up by the seat of your woolies
Then from a barn rafter
You would hear my laughter
While swinging overhead from ropes and pulleys

I'd stuff each of your big mouths with a dirty sock
It's such a fitting punishment for you who mock
Twenty lashes at dawn
For you are Satan's spawn
More beatings if you crawl out from under your rock

You should be ashamed when you taunt and heckle
You have far less worth than a penny or sheckle
Your bite has no power
To injure or devour
You're nothing more than a blemish or a freckle

On billboards I'd paper your names for all to see
I'm pretty sure lots of PS poets would agree
Who'd swat you like gnats
And use you like doormats
Because your attitude is loathesome and beastly



*yobo is a synonym for a bully

David Kavanagh November 15, 2020 at 2:31 PM Congratulations Jenna, very witty and well thought out poem, I think whoever bullied you, made you stronger and actually inadvertently helped boost your confidence, unfortunately not everyone bounces back like you did, I have to say all that took part in this contest are indeed winners, cheers David Jenna Logan November 16, 2020 at 11:11 AM I agree with all of your generous thoughts, David.

Paula Goldsmith November 15, 2020 at 9:38 AM Congratulations on your win. I thought this was a kid thing. I found out they turn into adults and do not grow up. It is a shame to hurt others.

Gershon Wolf November 5, 2020 at 10:00 AM I see that you don't like bullies... Understatement of the year... Only bully I ever liked was Sam the Sham and the Pharaoh's 'Wooly-Bully' song, c. 1966... String 'em up! ~ Gershon Jenna Logan November 6, 2020 at 3:23 AM Understatement indeed, GW. Thanks for great comments. Wooly Bully, I'll have to check that out.

Tom Cunningham November 5, 2020 at 1:12 AM A clear warning to those trolls out there Jenna, you pick on one you pick on us all, I'll get the socks ready, I wont change them for a month lol. Best of luck. Tom Jenna Logan November 5, 2020 at 1:54 AM hahaha. Be sure you walk around in them outside for a few days, too, Tom. Any chickens around? Love your response and thanks!

Jan Allison November 4, 2020 at 2:21 PM so sorry you have suffered this Jenna, it happened to me in my early days on soup . I know poets especially ladies have left the site, I have friends I miss so much it makes me sad when I read old poems and see comments from people who are no longer on the site:-( good luck in the contest:-) hugs jan xx Jenna Logan November 4, 2020 at 3:42 PM It was just a momentary glitch...That's what I'm calling those who try to disrupt me and anyone who posts on this site. Thanks, Jan, and I am also sorry that your past experience was a bad one.

Silent One November 4, 2020 at 1:53 PM Great limericks.. You are right there is no place for bullying on poetry soup nor in society... I understand there can be misunderstandings, but behaving in an adult manner is important and I never understand why people resort to name calling . Jenna Logan November 4, 2020 at 3:41 PM Thank you for your kind comments. There's no accounting for the actions of anyone acting in a bullying manner, and it should never be tolerated.
