Their leaves a tattered mess …

With cream and sugar is so yummy!
Just don't let it overflow
Or hyper-active you will go!

If you're a Christian on Judgement Day
Otherwise I hope you know
Into torment you will go

Bitter Road

Take the moment, then, my heart and home
Take it and be gone.
Leave me rising dust and memories
To kill me when alone.

When others thought it rich
But me myself said just a FART

By another women's name.
What can I say? He lost his life
In bed, without pain .

They's better, better, better
And if I dump them on my head
They'll make my wetness wetter.

with buckets and spades
building the biggest and best kind.

The man who lost his money
got a horrible nasty shock
When the government called him homeless
and his money got to talk
