- SON OF LITTLE TINY SKIDMARKS RETURNS
- ------------------------------------
-
- He's waiting
- All night in the treetops
- the bitter treetops
- He has a nagging
- Suspicion
- A very nagging suspicion
- That something may be wrong
- with his agenda
- His bitter agenda
- His shirt
- Stinks
- His beard
- Is matted
- He hasn't eaten anything (that was good for him)
- In days
- He blames you
- He blames you REAL BAD
- I'm glad I'm not you
- He's got a rusty tin can knife
- And a strange way of looking at things
- Like revenge
- Like life sucks
- Like how about I take YOUR life
- and try it on for size,
- Fatboy?
- He's just not a very nice person to have
- In your tree
- On this
- Otherwise good day
- "Give me your crunchy nuggets!"
- He says, practicing
- For God knows what
- (Get out. Get out of the house now. Avoid the tree.)
- (The bitter tree.)
-
- (You've been a captive audience.
- Thank you and Happy Holidays!)
-
- (I could've done a better poem if I wanted to;
- I just didn't want to.)
-
-
- (Merciful Lee Dickens)
- (This concludes the poetry portion of our show.)
