Hey! Mister, Mister!
Do you have any boxing gloves?
I would love to wear them
to be just like you…
So I won’t be so blue.
Sir, are you alive and well?
What about the bell?
Is it 90 pounds light?
Well according to you that IS the light.
How many times do you have to tell me, right?
Sir, where can I get your do?
What can I prove to you?
I love how you work.
Can I have that plate?
Oh, sorry, I am making you late
you are busy. I can tell.
Did I make the hard sell?
I can’t tell….
Yet I come up short
Oh yes I can be a sport
and leave this establishment,
this resort.
Chaos will find you as it has found me
or don’t you see?
What can I be? Let go…
Don’t you see?
Again, yes, but you keep talking to me
so please let me leave
empty handed, I guess
I tried to be at my best.
