It's a Wonder I Didn'T End Up In Jail -

When Popeye whipped Brutus's ass
I shoulda' promptly been sent to mass
Wiley C. gets flattened by a safe?
What a horrid, repulsive disgrace!
Elmer tried to murder Bugs Bunny
You laughing? You think this is funny?
When Tom tried to terminate Jerry
Were critics amused? Not very!

Cartoons were my video games
And yes, I am duly ashamed
One reaps what he sows as they say 
(But I think I turned out okay)
