Angry Man
When I first took my pen in hand,
Thus for to write about an angry man
From whom I felt the back of his hand.
Yea; who caused me pain and said
I'm damned.
I did it mine own self to gratify.
Well, so I did; but yet I did not think.
To show to all the world my pen and ink.
Yet here I stand,
Damned by an angry man.
"Well speak up boy!"
Shouts the angry man.
Pointing with a hateful hand.
"Thought you were something,
Really you're nothing."
Shouts the angry man.
Pointing with a hateful hand.
"You exist not, without thought
You should be shot."
And to my face shouts, "Disgrace!"
"Prove your existence be damned,"
Shouts the angry man.
"I skate therefore I am.
So go fuck yourself angry man!"
