Embarrassment takes many forms

Some of it makes one forlorn

Other prods have lasting impact

When done publicly and stacked



With venom oozing from lips

Then it really is the pits

There are so many ways to

Communicate, so we should do



All we can to put things

In the proper place of ring

- Any arena is better than

A place where art is scanned



Those who use this very place

To do personal things in space

Reserved for the sweet sound

Of words of revere which pound



Some good vibrations into souls

Which imparts beauty with it all

Are dealing with some torment

They would be better to vent



In other parts of the world

Than places where songs unfurl

So if you do have these feelings

E-mail them, and stop peeling



Open other laundry items

In a place to spite them

If your life pains so

Then it's real shallow



So find another spirit

To immerse you in it

And thus leave alone

This very set of bones!
