Ode to an Ugly Boy

Can somebody love an Ugly Boy
Can somebody love an Ugly Boy

When an Ugly Boy breaks his sister’s toy
When an Ugly Boy brings gloom to joy
When an Ugly Boy can’t gracefully dance
When an Ugly Boy has the loser’s stance

Is there someone there to give him another chance
Is there someone there to read his lonely glance

Can somebody love an Ugly Boy
Can somebody love an Ugly Boy

When an Ugly Boy is neither fat nor thin
When an Ugly Boy dribbles down his chin
When an Ugly Boy kicks his best friend’s shin
When an Ugly Boy makes his Momma’s head spin
Is there someone there who finds him cute
Is there someone there who doesn’t think he’s a brute

Can somebody love an Ugly Boy
Can somebody love an Ugly Boy

When an Ugly Boy learns to lie and steal
When an Ugly Boy starts to double deal
When an Ugly Boy stands up and fights
When an Ugly Boy asserts his rights
Is there someone there who sees a hero in him
Is there someone there who hears his cry within

Can somebody love an Ugly Boy
Can somebody love an Ugly Boy

When an Ugly Boy plucks his heart from the dust
When an Ugly Boy loses faith in trust
When an Ugly Boy does it all for love
When and Ugly Boy braves it all for love
When an Ugly Boy bows his head in shame
When an Ugly Boy breaks the rules of the game
When an Ugly Boy is neither meek nor commanding
When an Ugly Boy is the last one standing
Is there someone there who sheds a tear for him
Is there someone there to raise a cheer for him

Can somebody love an Ugly Boy
Can somebody love an Ugly Boy

You know me,if you haven’t done so already, check out my last name JAXON. Take a nice long look at it bryan jaxon. Chances are you’ve seen this particular arrangement of letters long before you ever fell in with my whimsical stylings, although the inclusion of my 'anonymous' name in these words does give me some empty joy.

and Ha ha ha...it was a laugh


I hate the courtesy laugh. All it does is encourage people who aren’t funny to continue making bad jokes in the future. Face it. Everyone can’t be funny, just like everyone can’t be good-looking, athletic, or intelligent. Feigning good looks, athleticism, or intelligence is often a shameful endeavor.

By my means Ugly boy is awesome
keep the tracks...

Hi 'anonymous'...I was just interested in knowing what you found funny about the poem/song - that's it. Your reply didn't answer my q. neway as far as figuring out your name goes-if you even remotely know me -you'd know that I dislike games/intrigue of any kind. Yup - I said 'dislike'. So I guess you're not the person I thought you were.

Which makes you, simply , my 'reader' to which breed I'm eternally grateful since I have so few of them ;) keep up the feedback...
