she was in the bathroom screaming
with a friend of hers.
she was screaming that I was a bastard
and a sick individual
that needed to beaten up soon.
well, not exactly . . .
but that was basically how it went.

all these redneck boys came rushing
to rescue her.
she came out of the bathroom;
her black mascara
dribbled down her face,
which was puffy from all the bottled up
hatred she had for me.

she pointed me out to the 3 redneck heroes.
they walked up to me,
the one in the middle took his shirt off
to intimidate me, I suppose.
the others were too stupid to speak.
thank god for that, I thought.

no shirt pushed me and asked
what my problem was.
I decided that I could probably kill
no shirt before the others
realized what was happening.

I tried to tackle him,
caught him around the middle,
grabbed a handful of crotch,
and began to squeeze.
he screamed like a bitch
and pounded my back,
but I didn't let go.

the others jumped in finally
freed no shirts balls from my death grip.
a couple of my friends jumped in and
pulled me out of the house.
they threw me in the back of a car
and told me not to get out.

no shirt was in the front yard now
practicing karate moves;
all the karate in the world
couldn't have saved his balls
from the twisting
they received from me. fuck him.
The others were talking to my friends,
the usual,
"We ain't got no problem
with you boys, it's him!"

as we drove away,
no shirt was still doing air karate and
the crazy bitch was standing
out on the balcony with her friend
screaming, "kill that fucker!"
I didn't even do anything to her;
just a crazy bitch, that's all.
she tried to have me killed at a party once
