Bx

You are nothing much.
Call me such and such.
Try to touch me with a stick.
I will shrink into a stitch.
I’m the zipper you’re the worm.
Turn your pants into a squirm.

That’s how it is when you drink.
There’s no bottom whence you sink.
You can’t smell but you stink.
Time is telling. Take a wink.
Wake up with the hiccups.
Eat your sup and do pushups.

Rebuke your shadow and don’t know why
it doesn’t answer you in the sky.
Sail it in the sand.
You were once planned.
Look at you now.
Stiffen the flow 

Fall into mirror
Slip on the floor.
Skip all over and out the door.
The sun is out.
You can’t get up.
Sleep cheap
You’re decaying.
A little piece here
a little piece there
We wee weeeeeee!
Be you be meeeee!
