For packing

Should be read skeptically, not as it shown.

     Makes me laugh, not scowl!
     
      Another one, had a word that rhymes with dart!
      Obnoxious ads, with which I want no part!

I’d say eight, but these days, one can’t tell!

Is it just li'l old me
Or do other peeps see
The sexual connotations tempting each innocent man
