Bad English
for
Mark Allinson
It's not the don't-got or the ain't-no, no,
you can't blame bling or the coinages that crop
up in the teenyboppers' hip-hop, rock and pop.
They said the same of bebop, long ago.
It's not the white kids' like or the rappers' yo,
or the yeah-yeah up in heah that's got to stop.
Hwaet! was overused by the ancient scop.
Where some say dude, the dead dudes once said O.
But whoa, the po-mo lingo's got to go.
Can't take no mo, these mo-fo's take the cake.
Gimme a break, the clothes they make are fake,
the emperor's naked, shakin it like a pro,
killing the love of lit the gits don't know,
raping the language just for raping's sake.
