- People brooms and people acumen
A victory for people of the mind --
I was put on two blades,
Imposed on top of shit.

People brooms, people sharpness
Know exactly where they give,
Figl-Migl and tree-stick
For a good sell.

People acumen, people skills are
Know where that is bad.
Every day, give lessons
What we do and how we live.
