I'm glad I'm not ten and American

By freudian-slip

Don't get me wrong,
I love our country in two handfuls of ways
but I wouldn't trade 39
for 10
no matter what eye-pleasing package it arrived in

not unless, of course
someone bashed me over the head
which in turn
produced a zombie-like state
that upon awaking
had me adorned in happy bunny t-shirts
and a Jonas Brothers backpack

while in my ipod ear
was playing
Brittany Spears


jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez,
I can't even write this shit

Gawds...is this any better than that was? Still good for a giggle. Cheers.
