Frosty the Snowman (And his Brother Lou)
A lovely Latina caught Don Sterling’s eye And, for sure, there’s no fool like an old one. It helped he has Billions, You know I don’t lie- because you must give sums to get some. His wife got upset, (you know how they get) As she saw their cash flow out the door. “Two cars and a condo! I’ll make him regret the day he encountered that ***** The wife sued the mistress for her “ill gotten” gains, half of it hers by the law. Then they caught Don, on tape, Spewing sound bites of hate- Now he can’t run his team anymore. A little blue pill can do old men ill- It deceives them to think they’re a Stallion. The next time you reach for an eighteen year old, Don, I suggest that you pour a MacCallan.

. *asks the one in the $9 Craigslist chair, legs crossed like a philosopher mid-way through a YouTube binge on dark matter and dopamine fasting.* He thinks it’s profound. It’s not. It’s a shrug in a trench coat. A crisis dressed up in code. An old fear wearing digital cologne. If this is a simulation— ***what the **** are we simulating?*** Heartbreak? Minimum wage despair? The number of times I check my phone hoping it’s her? Is it a stress test for gods, a beta for consciousness, a joke? Because if someone coded this— they should be fired. Or worshipped. Or sued. Where’s the patch notes, the exit key, the server room in the sky? Where’s the moment it glitches and someone finally says, “Oops, our bad— you weren’t meant to feel all of that.” You talk about the veil of illusion but you still cry in parking lots. You still ghost your therapist. You still love people who don’t text back. You bleed, you ache, you spiral— whether you’re made of atoms *or ******* pixels.* Your god wears headphones. Your sacred text is a Stack Overflow thread. Your heaven is a loading screen. Your hell is just Monday. You pray in 1080p to a silent DevOps deity who hasn’t pushed an update since the Bronze Age. This isn’t philosophy. It’s cosplay for cowards. It’s a way to sound deep without touching dirt. Without risking faith. Without changing anything. Because if it’s a sim, you don’t have to care. If it’s a sim, you don’t have to try. You can just sit there, scrolling. Wondering if the fire is ray-traced. But here, the only questions that matter: Does it hurt? Do you love? Can you lose? Because if the answer is yesyou’re in it. Whatever it is. Simulation or not.

I'd last about an hour as a clerk inside a store invariably I'd shoot my mouth off about someone's daughter dressing  like a ***** or making comments about the dreadful things  consumed which would include a good 99% of the people in the room I'd eventually end up getting my lights punched  out after  *********  someone as  a fat ***  undiscerning lout or cracking  some aside regarding what comprises that crud and making faces of revulsion "you'd be better off eating mud" ewwwww, you really eat that stuff? this store should be sued for selling such bluff children with diabetes, a third of adults obese the courtesy clerk dies a little  for lack of surcease line after line of vapid consumers mindless knee-jerk impetuosity belay the rumors what's an adulterant, what's a filler? propylene glycol alginate, yum yum sorbitan mono sterate, shut up and eat it, its fun! I can't even pronounce it, much less do I  care need I be a scientist to enjoyably savor fare Go ahead and poison yourself the quirky clerk exclaimed its ever so clear you're stupid and lame stay mired in your pig-headed muck of  ignorance you're exactly what they want another brain dead consumer a regular culinary savant stuff  your face with no remorse nor heed no worries, the clerk of little courtesy knows your need he'll limply wheel  out your cart of miserable choices for you and wise-crack some snarky rejoinder then promptly get  beaten,  black and blue

The Discourteous Courtesy (Quirk) Clerk
As I rounded the hill Face to face with the still That I'd only heard rumors spoke of With no one around I sat myself down And proceeded to sample the stuff As sweet as honeydew melon Got my feet to a geling Made me feel like I did in my youth Sat with a dumb gaze for a while Then got the biggest of smiles When it came to me what I should do So I went with my plan And opened a stand Right there on the mountain side When word in the forest got out I never had any doubt That all of the critters would be stoping by You should have seen them all  guzzle As the squirrels ordered doubles Then proceeded to tell wild nutty lies It was quite the fiasco When they brought out the cowboy hats and  lasso's As the party went well into the night They paid in nuts and berries Which was fine by me With them I made different flavors of shine In flavors I made 32 So I wouldn't get sued By Baskin-Robbins who has 31 at this time From all the flavors I made Boysenberry was the fav The raccoons made up a dance called the boysenberry crawl Which was a big hit At the discotheque The beavers built in the early fall We made a deal I would sell them my swill For a little piece of the pie We were all getting rich I have to admit It's quite the relationship, the beavers and I Of course the beavers got greedy You know how beavers are needy Couldn't leave well enough alone Figured they had the right Who's going to pay for these lights That make this the best disco in town They started charging a cover Which didn't go over As well as they would have liked Plus they doubled the price of the ***** Which left little food On the woodland creatures tables at night Things went from bad to worse When they started to curse Me, "The Man" for the troubles they had I barely made it out alive By the skin of my hide When I packed and hit the road mighty fast Things had been going so well Before it all went to hell And me and my still were forced to leave Now still to this day You know why I always say That famous line, passed down in time "Leave it to Beav"

To sit on rocks, to muse o’er flood and fell, To slowly trace the forest’s shady scene, Where things that own not man’s dominion dwell, And mortal foot hath ne’er or rarely been; To climb the trackless mountain all unseen, With the wild flock that never needs a fold; Alone o’er steeps and foaming falls to lean; This is not solitude, ’tis but to hold Converse with Nature’s charms, and view her stores unrolled. But midst the crowd, the hurry, the shock of men, To hear, to see, to feel and to possess, And roam alone, the world’s tired denizen, With none who bless us, none whom we can bless; Minions of splendour shrinking from distress! None that, with kindred consciousness endued, If we were not, would seem to smile the less Of all the flattered, followed, sought and sued; This is to be alone; this, this is solitude!

Hush all you voters, don’t say a word Or you’ll be sued by a great big **** He’s loud, obnoxious and has orange hair. You can hear him lying almost everywhere. He thinks he’s rich and a moral man But actually he’s just like the Ku Klux **** He has an endless supply of brainless rants Aimed at non-whites and the immigrants. He thinks it is time we let morality pass And started kicking some immigrant *** And if that immigrant’s mouth grows fat Trumpy gonna hit him with a baseball bat. And if that immigrant acts sad.. Trumpy gonna treat them like Islamabad. If Mexico gets ****** at all. Trumpy gonna build up a great big wall. And if the taxpayers say ‘No!’ Trumpy says he’ll bill it to Mexico. Trumpy says he can shoot people too And anything else he wants to do. Trumpy is counting on the Democrats To stay home election day and sit on their pratts. If the voters in this country don’t soon wise up. There won’t be any peace until Niagara dries up.

HUSH LITTLE BABY (PARODY)
The smoker I bought some rare cigars; had them insured against fire And by three months later I’d lost them all in a series of small fires But the ****** insurance company wouldn’t pay so I sued them The judge I’ve looked at all the evidence and I accept the cigars had been indeed destroyed by a “series of small fires” and so I order the company to pay the insured the sum of $15 000 The insurance company We paid - we didn’t want a prolonged legal case; but now we are taking the client to court as it’s clear through the very evidence he submitted he caused the “series of small fires” The judge I find the insurance company’s former client guilty of arson; and furthermore I order that the man serve prison a year each for each count and so, to make it clear, to see past all the smoke: that’s 24 years in jail for arson

Where's The ****** Spinach Jeff (A Ramsay Nightmare}
Soothing that we aren't at war Soothing that the thunderous skies Show bright quiescent lightening flash In battle field where no man dies. Soothing that we sued for peace Soothing that the tempers calmed In altercations' quarrel lake Where differences are drowned or charmed. Soothing that your grey eyes sleep Soothing that I walk away, Walked to seek another life Where conflicts' brat is held at bay. Soothing now the day is still Soothing that the air is calm, Tho now I long for happenstance In cut and ****** of battles' harm. Marshalg Becalmed. 4 November 2012

I didn't get much schooling so I can't read or write. Many people don't understand my situation and plight. I thought I was buying sugar but I bought salt. My cake made people puke and it was my fault. When I drive, I can't read stop signs so I always crash. Over thirty people have sued because of whiplash. When I was seven, Dad wouldn't let me go to school anymore. When a person can't read or write, it closes so many doors. I can count to ten but I have to use my fingers and thumbs. And if you actually believe I can't read or write after reading this poem, you are dumb.

I Can't Read or Write
-on a Miami academic being sued    for fetish ****** harassment Quitchie of Reid, you and your electric feet - you make my safety fuses blow when I see the tapping of your toe, slowly touching a tile beneath. Have mercy on a man in chains, whose decency goes down the drains once tortured by the endlessly enthralling sight of your hot, sweet, cruel might that boils the blood inside his veins. Ah... Quitchie of Lewd, you're so electro-cute. One day my arm will stretch, your soles, your toes, your nails I'll catch and down I'll go in flames - happy, void and mute.

i know a place where there is no independence, Opinions are controlled,well as your "character reference". It is the place where structures are aero dynamic, Members Believing that it would fly at the time of panic The Social-Controller, political-hemophilia, Millions have joined, expanding the mafia. Polluted the minds of pioneers, --the low iQ'D, Wise Child inherit your thy truth have been sued The thoughts of your childhood was buried deep, Teachings of the interracial grows in this creed. It was emphasized, first time in my life, Discrimination was a wound stabbed by a Knife. I dont' believe, i can boldly state -- Man-made Cult hurted, roam from day to date. Creed merged State, Politics, and inner feelings, Was trespassed, influenced with imposed billings. How come, you tell me that you can't -- Soul search, and start what you want. It cuts my skin, when worse comes worst, I'll go for the love, not with the CURSE!

497 He strained my faith— Did he find it supple? Shook my strong trust— Did it then—yield? Hurled my belief— But—did he shatter—it? Racked—with suspense— Not a nerve failed! Wrung me—with Anguish— But I never doubted him— ‘Tho’ for what wrong He did never say— Stabbed—while I sued His sweet forgiveness— Jesus—it’s your little “John”! Don’t you know—me?

He strained my faith
My fourteen year old daughter was the star of a children's TV show. But because she grew large ******* they decided to let her go. They said that because of her growth spurt, it would be inappropriate for her to be on a children's show. They said they were sure that I would understand but I was furious and I said "Hell no". I said that it was discrimination and it was an immoral reason for firing my teenage daughter. She was more than willing to sue because of the morals that my wife and I have taught her. It was wrong to fire her because of mother nature 's handiwork and the judge agreed. My daughter was awarded ten million dollars, that was what the judge decreed. We didn't sue because of the money, we sued to stand up to their discrimination. When I say that they didn't get away with what they did, it's not an exaggeration.

Why I Convinced My Daughter To Sue
It's happened again cupid has cycled his laughing cast Without discretion, displayed in viscous currents One man finds a mate through an easy game of chase the scar, Lazy frowning and statued emotion Her eyes sparkled in such a kindred flame Artificially, just as the sad boy does rebounding desperation on both parts He as the hermit,with a minimal compassion She played the role for all affection Drove her half mad, cutting lonely A last chance to see him to the dance pupils strayed off, eating the smoke For a couple months, I think, maybe more Distance was death for the loving seperation Caring is old, the premature pleasure maker Chakra cats and Vampire disease Chased with blood, drunk on a rhapsody The girl dumped the filthy ****** baggage Humbly fornicating with a more fitting fellow Similar in grace and taste Aspirations and dependence on denser levels Red to black or black and blue With a new foundation built Companion demolition, scheduled for certain Love sued the suit and Brothers close at heart It's happened again Cupid has cycled his laughing cast Without discretion, displayed in viscous currents

I went to the hospital and they said they were going to shove a camera up my *** I told them that I didn't want that to happen, I told them that I was going to pass. But they said it was too late because I'd already signed the papers that allowed them to treat me. But I didn't want a camera up my *** I would've rather that they used baseball bats to beat me. They shoved the camera up my *** and it went in deep. It really hurt because the idiots forgot to put me to sleep. I cussed those ******** out and they said that they didn't like my attitude. But they disliked it even more when they had to pay me two million bucks after I sued.

A man was invited to his boss's house for dinner. The dinner was fabulous, made by a private chef and served by the family butler.  It was, all in all, a wonderful evening. At the end of the meal, the man saw his host collecting all the table scraps from the table. "What are you doing?" asked the man "Ah, well whatever I don't eat, I give to the butler and the chef." "They can't buy their own food?" "Well no, I pay them in scraps" "That's terrible!" "Why?  I eat my meal, I usually leave enough for them to live off of, unless I forget" "Unless you forget?" "Well, yeah...I mean a few glasses of wine and that food is as good as gone" "You see nothing wrong with this?" "Hmm...no.  Should I?" "You are feeding your staff table scraps!  The amount they're getting is miniscule!  It's a miracle they haven't sued you!" "Aha! I do see your point.  It is a rather meager amount.  Fortunately, since I'm such a clever fellow...I have a solution" "You mean to give your staff full meals to eat?  Maybe pay them with money instead?" "Haha, no no my simple man.  I'll just have them cook and serve more food!" "What." "Well it's rather simple.  If the amount of food that is cooked and served is increased, and I eat the same amount, then what's left over will be equivalent of a full meal!  Brilliant!" "Well...yes...but what if you get drunk on wine and eat all of that food" "I'm sure that I would never do such a thing.  Probably" "Probably" "Well, one can't always predict these things" "So instead of giving them a fair meal, you'd rather them put in more effort and time so that they 'might' see an increase in their rations?" "I know.  I should get a Nobel prize for this stuff" "Or commited" "What?" "Um...commended" "Quite right"

upstairs and downstairs, like a frazzled owl character in my third-grade reader in the doorway of my 200-level on sub-Sahara where we talk only of Nigeria holding the elevator for my superior in the lobby of a too-tall edifice to man a college student. an ABD. intern. backstage at your high school graduation ceremony, your mortarboard won't stay on your head in a food court where your mother doesn't get it when you say you can't wear pants anymore, or get your bimonthly haircut when you're skirting the poverty line after your family business was sued but your FAFSA says parent #1 earns six figures initiate. neophyte. not-quite-other. the female body as a threshold between worlds, channel betwixt boundaries Schrodinger's cat simultaneously in separation and marginal phases according to van Gennep divorce papers signed but not sent, enclosed in manila at the bottom of a cherrywood desk continuum. spectrum. a line without points.

We've got the wedding bin blues, Reception Centres should have been sued, Plastic chicken and phony food, "Why did you marry me?" we rued, This is the first wives' club, Half were in the pudding club, The orange appliances survived, Half the exes aren't alive! Reception Centres should have been sued, We've got the wedding bin blues!!!

WEDDING BIN BLUES!!
California....I love to hate this place, Gas prices high people getting high on a false sense of reality....lets get it right Exotic cars and intellectual flaws Riding down the boulevard **** can I drive without the admonishment of getting far..? Dreams of impacting the world one country at a time Schemes of people full of vanity, fallacies that aren't mine... Can I dance with the moonlight like King Harvest and not be sued for human rights...? The waves of excitement once stimulated my thoughts, Filled with nightmares and dreams a southern jezzabelle once taught... What can you do for me and what I can't do for you; the nightlight just caught... Yet I remain humble, though I stumble through the golden coast that boast dreams a civil war couldn't  fault... Dreams of californication....with laid back sentiments and pornification... Can I wake up from this guitar riff of fornication? Yet I Vibrate....And marinate on this pointification...
