Canni-ballllllled

Too many weirdos have rotted my smile,
Yellowed my disposition,
Stained my brain with illogical meanness,
Bated my breath with their worms.
No dentist can fill the cavities caused
By the consumption of icky sweet souls
That prove bitter in the digestion process
And make one so fat on their terms.

I’ve thought of changing my diet.
I had a vegetarian friend.
She tried to convert me,
But her needless proselytizing
And my constant dissatisfaction left me
Like a bottomless pit.
And one ravenous binge later,
She was gone, too.
