Ye Olde Thug Lyfe

If I were a rapper I’d write some sick rhymes

About crimes and hard times and increasingly warm climes

But instead I’m a blogger and I’m writing these verses

Without curses so my readers won’t go out and steal purses.

Instead of glorifying living as a thug out on the street

I’m all for the institution’s safe and sanctioned meet-and-greet

And if you thinkin’ I’m a sellout I’ll correct you: If you think

Anything I’ve written here‘s worth paying for… go get a shrink.

Greenbacks aren’t a flowing to this blogger’s cargo pockets

Like they do for Tommy Cruise or to that baller Tyler Lockett’s

But I’m rewarded with a gift that no celebrity gets:

I can wear sweat pants to Costco and no one gives two shits!
