A chapter in the book People

Michael Mayonnaise Mc Gotten

by Bill Schott



Michael Mayonnaise Mc Gotten
was champion of the down-trodden
hero of the misbegotten
a man with no detractor

Wandered nightly through dark alleys
looking for the Sams and Sallys
who were in life's deepest valleys
to be their benefactor

One day a creepy, caustic cretin
jumped Mc Gotten, left him beaten
crushed his skull with heavy feet and
each bone had its own fracture

His body laid there in that scene
the denizens had picked him clean
his naked body turning green
beside a trash compacter

Mc Gotten was a rarity
who never had the clarity
to see that clueless charity
gives power to bad actors
