He saw her face
And joined the race
He saw his pace
And reviewed his case
He screamed! He screamed!

He picked his ego
Scrubbed and scrubbed
But the hurt dirt won’t leave it
He cried and cried
And cursed and cursed

Someone must pay
And it must be her
Who shunned him
And so it was
That she became his mouth rubbish
That was left at the market
Smart rats are always the most insulted
Poor her
