Five-Second Rule

Don't stand too close, catch some errant spittle
Big dog not sharing kibble
Hear the voice crack, larynx brittle
Hear the boy rap, scare a little
I was a traveling man now I can spare a dribble
Not a classical fan no I don't care for fiddle
What I etch into pavement you wouldn't dare to scribble
All my debts in repayment I'm feeling bare and crippled
I'm not just sketching these pages see how I pare and whittle
With great dexterity I prepare the riddle
Keep my eye on the dollar and where it trickles
I'm the one - five divided by five, it's fairly simple
Feel the wear and tear of being very fickle
Might just take off with your last like I'm Karen Civil
What can I say? Can't beat her then I join her
Look it's nothing complicated I'm not needing any pointers
Coming at necks heat seeking any goiters
Summoned from rest beat leaking from the cloisters
Thumb through the mess street sweeping where you loiter
Expunge the pests keep cleaning up the foyer

The five-second rule lives here no more
Five course meals get devoured from the floor
Five knocks guarantees a bolted down door
Slaughterhouse-Five taught the kids about war
The five-second rule lives here no more
Five course meals get devoured from the floor
Five knocks guarantees a bolted down door
Slaughterhouse-Five taught the kids about war
Taught the kids about war
The five-second rule lives here no more
Taught the kids about war
Five course meals get devoured from the floor
Taught the kids about war
Five knocks guarantees a bolted down door
A bolted down door
The five-second rule lives here no more
