“
All because your bike
got stolen
and you lost
your cool
one night
and then
posted
that you needed
someone
to intervene
between you
and the monsters
and your cousin Julie
told your aunt
who called your dad
who texted Mom
who drove all night
and scheduled
an appointment
with St. Nick
who thinks your post
was a cry for help
when actually
you were just listening
to Eminem
and thought
the song was
kinda nice
