Dirt always sticks to dirty people

Dog, you like, encased in this filth

Countless ways I ain't sorry

After all the warnings

Even Mama said

“Leave his rank ass”

Sho’ nuff did

Life since…

Sweet

I am very appreciative that you read this poem! It's my last entry for the Vocal Breakup Nonet Challenge.

Special shoutout to Maureen Y. Palmer for shaping the future of Vocal Challenges with this idea. It truly was CHALLENGING!
