The Bully and His Target

The Bully and His Target
Page 2

Yet again, from personal experience


Look at me
For I am he
One to be dreaded
Whenever you see

Oh no, it's him
I feel so grim
I try to hide
It's useless with him


My stride is so wide
It's easy to slide
Into conversation with me
But I am no Bee

What do I do
Where do I go
I fear for my life
I do so


I am not to be crossed
I don't like dross
The weak ones disgust me
I am a wasp

I go weak at the knee
He is not like a bee
He comes back for more
Leave alone little me


I strike more than once
But not the same place
You get what you ask for
But not in the face

He is clever
He can hurt
But not just with fists
But also with words


You see, I am no Bee
Not even a pike
Unsuspecting prey though
I take when I like

I have decided
To ignore his remarks
He will get his comeuppance
My words, you will mark
