Bully
Eddie Fox is sly beyond his years,
his unsuspecting parents’ pride and joy.
A rascal always spoiling for a fight,
Eddie boasts there’s not a soul he fears.
The hit-and-run is Eddie’s favorite ploy;
his alibis are always watertight.
The other boys won’t flip their baseball cards
with Eddie. Moms won’t let him in their yards.
Last week the object of his spite became
a little girl he thought would hardly pose
a threat; but Kitty Kramer foiled his game,
gave him a shiner and a bloody nose.
Now Eddie Fox seems chastened, tempered, tame;
or is he seething? Heaven only knows.
