Best house, best friends—good girl, but she fades, Because all her parents did was point out her mistakes. “Did you clean the house—walk the dog—make your bed—wash your car?

Written By: D. Collins 9/17/24 Petty Freddy's a man no child would want to be. Void of selflessness and human morality. Stuck on stupid because it is all about him.

Have you given yourself a vow Not to come for the video chat Or does it happen undertow Like implicit “don’t do that”?

On Sirius Radio, we have the chance To listen to singers who’ve died, For some have their stations, which serve to enhance All the music they once did provide. So after they’ve passed, we’ve been given the choice To keep listening, not to just songs, But to whole conversations in that well-known voice Which to our favorite singer belongs. We are...

Married at twenty to a man much too old, Her life as a trophy wife grew stale, And so she plotted, her heart gone cold, Her husband's demise she'd avail. With her inheritance,...
