Ode to Jerome

O Jerome! O Jerome!

Where are you now Jerome!

You once grew up amidst your peers

your friends your foes, amidst the sneers

they sneered at you 'cause of the shitty bicycle?

No Jerome!

'Twas not your shitty bicycle!

Because, Jerome, is not a faithful friend

Because, Jerome, that leads to no good end!

It is an explanation, a

justification

a reason no one cares to hear

exiting your mouth

your mouth Jerome you work a lot

seldom to advantage

yap yap yap the trouble's rolling

Oh good Lord the bells are tolling!

what to do now

woe is me!

help me friends i'm falling off the carriage.

Jerome

O!

Jerome

Your bum Jerome, you must wash alone

That Jerome you cannot bring back home!

Nobody can hear you crying

the drama's weak

(you must improve)

no one cares to see you trying

ah, no one cared about you

when you were a boy?

well i and everybody

couldn't give a shit!

Jerome Jerome Jerome

You

are

an idiot

Jerome Jerome Jerome

Why are you an idiot!

You're out of cards Jerome - should have done your mathematics

Those my friend were not meant to be used

They were meant for holding you when it would be cold

They were your security when you would be old

Consumed consumed

you had not assumed?

burned, discarded

indigested

thrown aside, useless and presumed!

Truly you are such

a

dickweed - how could anyone believe?

to get on onboard a vehicle

you were going to captain

dickweed dickweed what size dickweed

would a sailor be?

or is it that they breed?

Jerome Jerome Jerome

You

are

a fool

Jerome Jerome Jerome

Where do fools breed!

The other day, Jerome, i was thinking…

and then again I understood

there's no point to explain

you should see the heavy pain

see it hurts my brain

…and gain, Jerome, you know the gain

where am I to gain!

and I understood

Jerome Jerome

Jerome Jerome Jerome

You

Jerome

You You

You are an idiot.

You see Jerome, no one really gives a shit whether you do or you don't.

Why Jerome!

Why!

Jerome Jerome Jerome

You

are

an idiot

Jerome Jerome Jerome

…I've also been thinking

about your wife and your people

Jerome you need to think about that!

They say a lot about you.
