Dickhead

there is a saddened kind of shame

a name that’s cruel and thus demeans,

elementary obscene

a child can not reach deep enough

it started when I read outside

my third grade level reading group

and followed to my brownie troop

then fearful fighting, flight to home

and in defense I’d use my gift

to make up names and write mean songs

I’d teach the boys to sing along

and charge their chocolate milk money

with my moustache a poor disguise

with puffy, rubbing, teary eyes

I made myself apologize

though only choking squeaks were heard

Nicoleslaw Dickhead was my name

a name that’s cruel and thus demeans,

slimy side-dish shit for brains

a child can not reach deep enough
