Some Unproductive Negativity by John Harder
I didn't know how to react
All at once my muscles contract
I want to expose
or even impose
Not superexpose
or underimpose
I can hardly eat
I think lots of literature
I'd be failing Math
But, I have bad grammar
I have a sudden craving for fruit
I can't stay
Gotta go away
and eat a banana
Let me out of this house
Again, she's wearing that blouse
I feel small as a mouse
Yet, big as a moose
Out of all the ducks
you're the goose
I can do it, I just need a boost
I need a car so I can cruise
Maybe crash and get a bruise
Feel so tired, gotta snooze
If I do, then I'd lose
How do I choose?
I'd rather be awake
I don't sleep, I fake
Stomp on that snake
unless it's Jake
I wanna swim in a lake
I don't know what to make
of these games you play
They should at least let me stay
And catch a ray
One of 'em says, "Hey,
are you gay"
And I say "nay."
And mold a broken heart from clay
Ther's nothing in the jar
I'll smash it with a metal bar
And do the same to a car
But not to a cat
Then I'd use a bat
Even on a rat
Face the fact
We all think we're fat
We need to be smacked
Nothing is lacked
I find shelter in my poetry
It can't be described in english
They all seem like pro's
While my tongue froze
It's nothing I chose
Spray me down with that hose
Then shoot me with your bows
