Any resemblance to a person alive or dead is strictly absolute...


Poem Artwork

He professes to be calm & collected,
Still performs like a boy neglected,
Can’t maintain himself as he should,
This all he sees after he has had time reflected…

He’s from Jersey, you can’t of him scare,
Through a lot he has weathered rough & fair,
Still he wishes he could just within chill,
Fighting words he’s spoken, enough to make him ill…

Can he back up his outward strength,
Or does he keep his fisticuffs at arm’s length,
Nay, does he too easily back down,
Does he on his stomach crawl on the ground,
His bravado from his mouth is where its found…

I had an ass like that once. I sold him. But then, upon reflection, I regretted it. Because women always told me that I had a nice ass.
