The Jerk



Taunting cowardly as he walks
Passing people by
The jerk is always teasing
And trying to make people cry

"Hey look at that fat *ss!"
He says with selfish glee
"You can't do anything right!"
The jerk will disagree

He must have been teased
When he was growing up
For there is no one as mean
As the jerk when he's worked up

Someone needs to tell him
Before it gets too late
That his words are very hurtful
And full of contempt and hate

Maybe it's just time
To walk the other way
To get rid of all the jerks
In our lives today
