My traitorous teeth caught fire and ran screaming into town
I hoped they would either burn themselves up or quite promptly drowned
They ran north, my most unfavorite neighbor ran over to tell.
Between these damned teeth and this cootslanger I think I’ve gone to hell.

MY UN-FAVORITE THINGS
Bastards and es
and arseholes and wankers,
Policeman and traffic wardens,
and PayPal and bankers,
I want to bind them with duck tape and string.
These are a few of my unfavorite things.
Gobes, and gossips
and stirrers and preachers
Politicians and Catholic nuns
and Ebay and teachers.
I want to kick them all off the park swings
These are a few of my unfavorite things.
When the night comes
and I`m up for fun
and I`m feeling true,
I simply remember my unfavorite things
and decide to share some with you..
By Mary Poppins.. (on acid)
