Nee naw nee naw nee naw
I hear more
Often than not
Accented in the wrong spot
Like a drunken syllable
Announcing their presence
When they should just go home
Shh go to sleep
Harden your tongue
Like a nyuh
Sounds like butter
Or a karate-dō cat
Sometimes I am a number
Nine ah
It strikes me
Like a child swirling
Around a piñata
