That bubbling in your chest after you've been rebuffed.
As old man Jacob went for a walk,
he saw an old friend and thought for a talk,
she saw him wave awkward with an arm in the air,
he looked like a beached whale with thinning grey hair,

She surely thought, "oh dear this strange old man,
always walking without direction or even a plan,
I wouldn't dare speak with him in front of a friend,
I'll just wave him away like I should have back then",

And so she she did with a word at the least,
"Go away old Jacob you're not wanted you old beast",
and so walk away he did with his head hung down low,
he just gave her the finger and let the thought go
