He’s a hoosier
A loser with no job
A party boy who is too old to party
A person who says he wants to travel but never goes
The type of person who shows up at a party an hour late and then is mad that the ice has melted
He’s a peacock, pompous
He’s a snake, slithering
He’s a liar, caught in my web
Shaking and wiggling as I wrap up his body
Sustenance for me for days
Two fangs to drink the blood
No one will miss this fly
Buzzzzzzziiiinnnngggggg
