Mike & Ike and Oh Henry.
At work, they’d laugh and throw Snickers at me.
When Pay Day landed. All my money, they’d demand it.
Once I told them NO!
Go away, bullies! Go!
They didn’t like the way I spoke.
Next thing I knew, I was soaked.
They promptly worked me over.
I almost died of exposure.
A coworker found me on P5.
Happy, I am to be alive.
A few more hours and I wouldn’t have survived.
Tired of being bounced around.
Treated like a clown.
Every time they’re in town.
I complain to HR.
Their Whoppers …
Skillfully contorted the truth.
The HR lady called me a brute.
Needing Lifesavers from the Three Musketeers.
Sick of being bullied for years and years.
I called Mr. Goodbar Watchamacallit.
He introduced me to Big Hunk.
Overjoyed! No more being a punk.
He said:
I’ll teach you how to make ’em pop.
Like a Starburst, crop their top.
Last week, I tossed Mike & Ike and Oh Henry.
Rolled them like Twizzlers when they tried to come at me.
My savings is growing.
Jubilation? Overflowing!
With tranquillity in the bank,
I have Mr. Goodbar and Big Hunk to thank.
