A smart word for everyone
\nAnd for strangers a disparaging look
\nHe sits making himself heard to all
\nWith a skit, hes known as the nyeuck.
\nBut little has he to offer
\nBar the skit and the laugh
\nTruth is maybe he fells not complete
\nThat of all others he is only half.
\nSo give him a nod and send him a smile
\nGo on, you know that you should
\nMake him fell better when he makes others feel bad
\nIts the Christian thing to do… it is good!<\/p>\n
