So There! (A poem by Doug Alchin)

I'm a go on back to my used to be,
quit cuttin' my hair
and go live in a tree.
Won't take no showers,
won't wear no shoes,
just make up songs,
sing whatever I choose.

So there!
What'cha gonna do about that?
You can't make me do what I don't want to
& I guess this'll settle that.
I may be stupid,
but I ain't so dumb:
you don't make no money, you don't pay no tax.
Right now that sounds like fun.

Get up one day
go down to the road,
stick out my thumb
and see where I go.
If the cars don't stop,
can't catch no ride?
I'll just cross to the other side.

So there!
What'cha gonna do about that?
You can't make me do
what I don't want to what I don't want to
& I guess this'll settle that.
I may be stupid,
but I ain't so dumb:
you don't make no money, you don't pay no tax.
Right now that sounds like fun.

Won't need no cash,
Won't take no drugs.
Stay away from the city
so I don't get mugged.
If they lock me up?
OK, that's cool.
I'll just sit in a corner and drool.

So there!
What'cha gonna do about that?
You can't make me do what I don't want to
& I guess this'll settle that.
I may be stupid
but I ain't so dumb:
you don't make no money,
you don't pay no tax.
Right now that sounds like fun.

I'll just eat them berries
and run around nude.
I tell you right now
I'll be a happenin' dude.
And if you don't like it,
YOU CAN STUFF IT IN YOUR HAT!
NOW,
what'cha gonna do about that?
