The Superintendency of No Part 1

The superintendency of No part 1
Could by no means imagine 
That such a simple phrase 
Could make such 
A paradigm impact in ones’ vitality
Who gave you permission 
To have the audacity 
To live your life 
As if it’s golden
When I’m left with 
Coopers on the dollar 
No sir....absolutely not 
The  jurisdiction of the universe 
Will not allow such 
Foolery to occur 
And I fully concur 
That I have the authority 
Of the superintendency of no 
It is crystal clear 
You will never have me ever again 
No... it is certainly not so
