TOXIC! said the sign on the bottle of acid
DO NOT DRINK ME – TOXIC!
TOXIC! said the sign on the tin of polish
DO NOT EAT ME – TOXIC!
TOXIC! said the sign on the drum of paraffin
DO NOT TOUCH ME – TOXIC!
Now the OED says toxic means poison
So why apply it to humans?
Said with open hand upturned
And a growling noise?
He’s TOXIC! She’s TOXIC! !
They’re TOXIC!
