Madly Clever

Own Quote: "There's a threshold between genius and madness,
I have kept the door ajar!"

When people see him they act cautious,
Condescending and pretentious;
Maybe he looks uncool,
Like a nerd or a fool,
Or just a misunderstood genius?

Premium MemberA Stitch In Time

There was a young girl on Long Bay

Her swim shorts began to show fray

Rip spread up the seam

I thought I would scream

When chubby cheeks went on display!
