	Poetry: Peers Unpressured
	Posted by Sylvia on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 (09:24:37) By Brian Henson "Why, he was only teasin'! (cheers!)". That was a lame excuse For all the fancy words and jeers Amounting to abuse. "But this is not abuse!" they said, "It's just his way to chat!" To me, his self-esteem was dead, And he was just a brat. "Why don't the two of you begin As pals and have some fun?" Why, that would be far worse than sin (Like loading up a gun!). All I could do is but escape From this horrific bribe, Like some domesticated ape Escaping from a tribe. But once I got away, I felt Relieved and tired out; I would not have to take the belt, Or feel the gruesome clout... Brian Henson Â©2004
