Car Insurance And Corporate Suckupishness: A Modern Masterpiece Of Poetical Ingenuity

There once was a certifiable psycho

Who didn’t want to save money with Geico.

He was a horrible git

And that’s about it

And if Geico gives me a sponsorship because I emphasized their brand message, then me like-o.

If I had a chicken

Made of a golden laser beam

I’d think the Altoids that I bought

Were not as they would seem…

Pixie dust and fairy farts,

Princess hair and fey Walmarts:

And take candy from strangers

Then listen to music

About Santa and mangers

But tonight we’ll eat ice cream

And go to Ikea

And buy toilet paper

For Tuesday’s diarrhea.

He dropped hundreds of lamps all over the floor.

Detectives had no idea how he ended up dead

But then a light bulb popped over their head!

If you stabbed wood and graphite

On the end of a fork-like utensil,

So I did it and swallowed.

I was shocked by what followed:

The next day I pooped out a pencil!
