Fuck this shit!

I want to scream it in the front room
Real loud, so it offends everybody.
Because any use of the F word
Constitutes sexual harassment.

Did you know that?

Of course not
Because it's ridiculous.

But today I'm mad.
Months of humps busted again and again
And yet I am still not acceptable.

Teach me more about that victim triangle
Because I wanna slip right in.

I want to burn this bridge down.
But I'm too old for that anymore.

So instead I will brood on my own.
Eat many a chicken fry from the king of burgers,
And prove them all wrong on Monday.

It can also be awesome, as is the case with this piece.
