Be Kind to a Bully

Steven West
Beware of the bully.
His name is Alfred Jones.
He has fists made of iron,
And will rattle all your bones.

He is over six feet tall.
He has a nasty disposition.
And if you dare insult Alfred,
He'll bend you in several positions.

Alfred has a girlfriend.
Her name is Mary Lou.
If you dare proposition Mary,
You'll wind up feeling Alfred's shoe.

It's best to be Alfred's friend.
Survival is a good thing.
Should you ever challenge Alfred,
You'll be tied down to a swing.

So be kind to your neighborhood bully.
Alfred Jones can really be kind.
Just remember to treat him nicely,
And watch out for your behind.
