Wit
she had it in spades
and offended so many
while loving it all
the picket white fence brigade
sharpened their points attacking
she fell in a heap
decided to write flaccid poems
about bruised petals
the picket white fence brigade
sharpened their points attacking
she got up slowly
gave up poems took up crochet
it was not enough
the picket white fence brigade
sharpened their points attacking
I loved the expression "picket white fence brigade" like hyenas picking everything off the bone. Doesn't do to stand out in a crowd like that.
