In the midst of something crucial diminutive But butts in - Oh, don't you hate that? - just when evolution is expressing itself and here's But to bring in devolution; and so I told BUT recently: But me no Buts X me no Xs Just **** off… But… But… But… Oh don't you know when you're not needed? Look here - I'm in the midst of watching that **** **** of that damsel across the green field and here you come butting in It's her swaying **** I'm watching; now, you - flick off! But… But… But… And exasperated, I said: OK - What?
But that's not a woman's **** you're watching; it's a bull across the green field - put on your glasses, and you'll see what I mean
And sure enough with my glasses on I could see But had a point - still, But takes away our illusions and so I vent my fury on But: OK, wise guy - so I can see it's a bull; Now get your bull off somewhere else But… But… But… Oh, the diminutive, persistent But - it follows one like one's own ****!
