The Smishimilash
Have you heard of the smishimilash?
I've heard they like to smoosh and smash!
They like to splish!
They like to splash!
They don't care what actions total in cash.
Each dollar to them is a penny in trash!
Each penny isn't worth batting a lash!
Each hurtful word is intended to slash!
Each scratch inflicted is a terrible gash!
Why boom, or smash, or splish, or splash?
Perhaps they were pennies, too, and felt bashes.
Perhaps they fall hard, when their whole world crashes.
Perhaps they were insecure; opening gashes.
Perhaps they were pennies accumulated in trashes.
They cared once what their actions totaled in cash.
They were looked at like pennies; not a smishimilash.
