Which Is Worse

Listening to incoherent jabber from Charles Manson Or a continuos loop of music by Hanson A summer cold with a nose that's runny Or Bob Saget trying to be funny A hairball that makes you cough Or a concert performance from David Hasselhoff Being arrested shoplifting at the Goodwill Or putting your tongue on some cold winter steel Soaking your clothes and running face first in to a live electric fence Or tickets to a Barefoot Contessa upcoming event Drinking soup out of a well worn boot Or eating some nicely aged Baloot Smelling a European woman's unshaved pits Or ten yards from finishing a marathon and calling it quits Eating a lemon lips cracked and dry Or jumping off a building, then realizing you're not Superman, you cannot fly Hitting shins in the dark on a metal chair Or having a blowout in the ghetto, the blowout was your spare Your car is ripped off, clothes in the car while you are skinny dipping in the lake Or the thief that stole it realizes going down a mountain that it has no brakes Sometimes decisions are a curse You decide which is worse
