Phony Bologna

Just look at her nose!!

Nothing lights my fire

like false accusations,

wood for the pyre

to burn this witch with justification.

But I don’t weigh the same as a duck

not made of wood, instead flesh and blood.

I do not give one single, cold-hearted fuck

if the dam you broke creates a flood.

I’ll swim underwater and float on my back

before you reap a solitary tear

with your baseless attack.

Watch out, the fuse is lit,

the kindling stoked,

before you work yourself into a snit

your ego stroked,

Make sure you see the structure right:

That bottom stick is dynamite.

About the Creator

Harper Lewis

I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction might have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈
