"WORD"
Its a word when
I was about ten
Guess I was the Dennis
the menace type kid
back then
One day The Mom she said
a word a word I had
never heard
the word it haunted me
it seem
Man that word sound bad
what that mean
but ten years old but
that word
it bothers me
but you aint gonna say
nothin back
to your mom
Went searching through
a dictionary
Found it word meaning said
trivial little importance frivilous
good for nothin not worthy
You think I didnt change my ways
A promise I made that
day
Never again will anyone say
Tryfling
