Poem Artwork


Learned to curse other drivers right off,


The middle finger the way to flip them off,


Don’t cover your mouth when you do cough,


Give your disease to them when at you they scoff…


 


Sarcasm only one of the emotions I offer,


Obnoxious I was raised to be, yeah me,


No such thing as being to tourists friendly,


Better to run them from the road I guarantee…


 


Laughing at others mishaps,


Okay so just maybe I need therapy, perhaps,


Living in NJ we got no need for no stinking maps,


Therapy would never help, I would just keep having a relapse…J

Wait a minute - I will be a New Jersey tourist very soon. Will you give me the finger and cough at me, too - your own kin??!! For shame.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
