My mind is like a nice set of
teeth.
It crushes things up, and
makes them digestible.
Too much sugar, like you,
sweetie
rots my brain.
I better stick with these dull
grey blocks of knowledge,
and brush daily with some
good pornos
I starred in ***** movies twenty years ago.
If you're wondering if I'm proud, the answer is no.
Last year my life was ruined when my wife found out.
I had never seen her so mad when she started to shout.
I lost my wife and I lose jobs and now I'm alone.
I wouldn't have starred in pornos had I known.
I starred in them because I wanted fame.
But it was disgraceful and I'm so ashamed.
I haven't just lost my wife and jobs, I've lost my children too.
Never star in pornos, that's great advice that I'm giving you.
(This is a fictional poem but it's reality for some people.)
