About kneeling for anthems and necks
One man has consistently stood tall:
That man is Neil Diamond,
Who protested against crime and
Didn’t change his name to “Stand.” That’s all.

And put it on my page

Moreso than any tumor,
Most tragedies in life are caused
By lacking a sense of humor.

She said, “Boy, you’re adequate.”
After that things went alright
And basically, well, that was it.

Well, That Escalated Quickly…
If someone stomps a snail to death,
Then snails burn down a city,
Why is that conducive to
Making people think snails aren’t shitty?

When Cops Steal Your Pets (At Least You Still Have Your Family)
I got licked by a dog,
Then I got licked by a cat,
Then I got licked by my uncle
But the Feds put an end to that.
