Enemy



You’re the one I hate most of all, for sure
Like the corn that has been stuck in my teeth
Annoying, Selfish, for you there’s no cure
In a competition you’d be beneath

I have given you plenty of chances
I say please why won’t you listen to me
Look! Your waltzing around doing dances
I will make sure to kick you in the knee

I am not trying to ruin your life
Although, I’m not sure you could say the same
Come on, it is you, your kids and your wife
It is clear to see your all so very lame

And no, apology not accepted
I’m afraid your persona projected
