Disney Like America Looks awesome in the brochure But feels faded and slightly forced A bit of a letdown after the buildup Still Wild eyed zealots Sacrifice their year’s savings at the altar of the mouse A western Hajj eulogized by matching Toy Story t shirts I really feel I missed an important moment of cultural indoctrination That left me insensitive To the draw of this place. A surprise comes though, As instead of the expected moral superiority I feel a sense Of loneliness And societal exclusion As I watch An old man with a silhouette of Mickey Mouse tattooed on his forearm   Happily Buy a Bud Light for $5.95

A trip to Disney reminds me I'm missing something
Disney Like America Looks awesome in the brochure But feels faded and slightly forced A bit of a letdown after the buildup Still Wild eyed zealots Sacrifice their year’s savings at the altar of the mouse A western Hajj eulogized by matching Toy Story t shirts I really feel I missed an important moment of cultural indoctrination That left me insensitive To the draw of this place. A surprise comes though, As instead of the expected moral superiority I feel a sense Of loneliness And societal exclusion As I watch An old man with a silhouette of Mickey Mouse tattooed on his forearm   Happily Buy a Bud Light for $5.95
