You’re a twelve step program 
You’re the weak amongst the strong 
Avoid the intervention 
‘Cause you know you don’t belong 

You’re one bad habit 
One that’s really hard to break 
It’s time to draw the line 
For another line to take 

You’re a bad hangover 
Snort a bushel and a pec 
It makes the hair stand up 
On the back of your neck 

You’re a dirty pin cushion 
Need a shot to ease the pain 
Can’t feel the pretty poison 
Is it taken all in vain 

You’re a proud pill popper 
You’re a bottle on a shelf 
Just fade away in memories 
As you slowly kill yourself

~Billy Hitz~

Limerick : Once a dashing Damsel with tough biceps

Once a dashing Damsel with tough biceps
Tried to bulge her pectorals with triceps
Compressed air back-fired
To where moon was mired
Since then carries pec-pumps in contracepts.
