but he found, to consume, only slugs:
he pondered his luck,
and soliloquised, “Yuck!
No wonder that people do drugs!”

Gosh what do we do with it, that is yuck.
Stick your hand in it dear 
Unblock it, it will clear.

I tried to squish it with a baseball;

Oh man, this is bad,

Why am I afraid of something so small....

strung between old brick columns..  
unphased by fall's winds

human hair now filled 
with sticky yuck spider web...

		Sloppy sons so seldom seek to scour sickening scum....

YOU

Your 
Uncaring eyes
Push me 
Repulsively 
Praise me down 
In a pit of abysmal. 
Your balance ego 
Keeps me on the void
Painted walls
Hidden truth

Take heed
While I, 
Twitch
Bitter 
Words 
Of yuck
Behind your back.

You've got to be kidding!
We'll wait and see what Dad bagged!"

Time to struggle and throw a fit.
Yuck phooey and out we spit.
Thats not sand its ________....
