Premium Member I'm Tired Of Taylor Swift

I am tired of Taylor Swift,
Her face I can not avoid.
 I know you gals get my drift.
I love her, but am annoyed.

 She has all those Swifty fans.
Isn't that enough for her?
 All she does is sing and dance,
and is known throughout this
earth.

 Her picture is everywhere!
Won't you give me a break Please?!
 Kelce and her, are a pair.
Watch the Kansas city chiefs.

 I turn the radio on.
You won't believe who I hear.
 My daughter's favorite song.
You guessed wrong, it's Britney Spears.

         Gotcha  LOL

Taylor is a wonderful
performer but I think
they overcharge at her 
concerts and parents 
foot the bill for their
teenage kids...

Today I Must Leave You

Today i must leave you
You take drugs you say brutal
Things to my child
Today i must be ruthless and
Overcharge you and end this

I Just Want To Eat

Is it too much for me,
to ask to eat? To wrap my gums around a wrapper,
sucking juices off it's leaf.

I just want to eat.

Is it too much for you,
to keep the garbage open and leftovers clean?
Of dirt and grime, of germs and viruses, of lock and key?

I just want to eat.

Is it too much for me to ask you,
not to overcharge for a pickle? So I can save my change,
to savor the taste of a tomato one day.

I just want to eat.

I just want to eat and drink.

I don't need no booze nor rooms,
no charity donations, just some food.
Some water to keep my lips from splitting,
an umbrella to keep me dry, I'm not choosy-
about the life I'm getting, so long as it is life, I'm fine.

I just want to eat.
