Misbegotten Scoundrel
Improper in origin, disqualified at birth,
the misbegotten scoundrel
was meagerness and dearth.
Improper in origin, ineligibly be-joshed,
the misbegotten scoundrel
was restrained and kiboshed.
Improper in origin, prohibited from joy,
the misbegotten scoundrel
was frontage and decoy.
Improper in origin, irrelevant to need,
the misbegotten scoundrel
was enslaved and un-freed.
Improper in origin, superfluous in life,
the misbegotten scoundrel
was resentment and strife.
Improper in origin, unlawfully conceived,
the misbegotten scoundrel
was wounded and aggrieved.
