as my own), but then again, I am you and your daughter.

Here. (...) This work is public property. You can stick your
flag into it or pee on it (you wrote it anyway, asshole, (and

roads, or the English language in the face now can you?))

(Moreover, trying to sell this anyway is like trying to sell Paris

The next day, I was scrubbing the toilet and noticed a buildup

So what if we're all scoundrels, leeches, diseases, mockers,
phonies, liars,... Today, we're also poets (stab me and you

mine, mine,... me, me, me,....

To the guilty, add this "piece" to your precious repertoire (trust

limit of one-fanny-pack-per-ascendant).

(So quote this, edit it, reproduce it, flaunt it, or just ignore it (it's
your work anyway, comrade!)
