this one has a toon.

JODY’S AT THE BACK DOOR

            Jody’s  at the  back  door, 
            comin’  on  in                    

            He don’t see no harm;
            He don’t see no sin.                

            He don’t see  nutin’, 
            what’s right in front of him.              

            Girl,
            don’t cha know how you hurt me?

            Don’t cha know how I care?

            Best be tellin’ Jody,
            “Don’t be comin’ round here.”

 

           

            Jody’s at the back door,
            comin’ on in.

            He don’t see no harm.
            He don’t see no sin.

            He don’t see the trouble
            you’re getting’ him in.

            Girl, 
            don’t cha know how you hurt me?

            Don’t cha know how I care?

            If you’re still doin’ Jody, 
            you had betta beware.

 

            Jody’s at the back door,
            comin’ on in.

            He don’t see no harm. 
            He don’t see no sin.

            He don’t see no bullet, waitin’ for him.

           Girl,
           don’t cha know how you hurt me?

            Don’t cha know how I cared?

            I warned you about Jody,
            just how much I could bare.

 

            No Jody’s at the back door,
            comin’ on in.

            He don’t see no harm.
            He don’t see no sin.

            He don’t see nutin’,
            ever again.

            Girl, 
            don’t cha know how you hurt me?

            Don’t cha know how I cared?

            One last bullet,
            will end the whole affair.

This is a dynamite poem full of clever phrases that tell a story about love scorned about as well as one could tell it.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
