Big Mouth
I killed Billy Mays.
I whispered his death sentence to my television,late one night.
The next day, Billy Mays had died.
It wasn't a curse.
It was, "Next thing you know you'll be dead"...and he was.There had been a quite a few deaths.
Another time,I slandered my neighbor. As my visitors laughed,I gave stories of his wild behavior.
He was usually drunk,and belligerent.
He was more than a little intrusive...if he could get his foot in the door,he just walked in...terribly nosy.
His screen door,wore his face print.
He meant well..he was just looking out for us.
He died of a heart attack,right at that moment...as the words left my mouth.
Twice I've killed with my mouth...my words...my mockery.
Now my words make a mockery of me.

And to think that he's the only reason I bought Oxy clean. Thanks for murdering a legend. Mays would dig this.

If I did...it took a long time.
I made fun of him and Mick Jagger

Maybe Jagger should start sweatin'
Thank you so much.
