Mayhem, a tribute to Dean Winters (the true legend tbh)
The raccoon lounging in your attic
Acting over dramatic as he
Boasts with a tone that is oh so emphatic.
About how he's torn up your insulation
And headed this infestation.
The blind spot on your car
Not alerting you about risks approaching from afar
When you move to another lane
Your car gets hit and you feel hot pain.
Instead of showing sympathy or regret
Mayhem just laughs at your new medical bills and debt.
The teenage girl driving in a parking lot
And the love triangle in which she was caught.
You see, her BFF Becky had just kissed this boy
But Mayhem hoped that kiss would be their’s to enjoy.
Eyes full of tears and yet they’re still driving
The teen hits parked cars without ever realizing.
All these many forms that Mayhem can take
Enjoying all of your pains and aches
Always ready no matter the person or place
He’s ready to throw some bad luck in your face.
But it is important to remember not to be mad
After all he’s just an actor in some Allstate Insurance ads.
