This Pimp

This Pimp
 
How you adorn, in ghastly form, this pimp!?
You celebrate and sanctify an imp,
Who seeks, with jaudice eye of brutish chimp,
To rob quite honest men he labels shrimp.
Although you think me lame, I do not limp,
Nor follow I the reasoning of this simp,
Or crooks who offer Charon coin so crimp,
They must think Heaven's path is a pimp's gimp.
Know I lead not the life of some prim wimp,
Lounging on some soft sofa, like a blimp.
I, like most working men, who skimp and scrimp,
Do not embrace this U Street pimp you primp.
This pimp should not from Justice be exempt
No, he deserves public scorn and contempt!
