EEK YOU REEK Eek you reek You make a funk Where you have been Things stink stank stunk You’ve left a path A swath of smell And yuck You did it very well But do not wail For what you’ve done For you are not The only one The awful stench You’ve left behind Is shared by others Of your kind Eek you reek Your anger’s spent No longer worth Another scent 4
