a human skull in the room can be a great motivational factor

By muckraker

A human skull in the room can be a great motivational object.
You stare into it and bang.
Death. It’s on the brain.
You get a bit edgy; wondering about your own.
You start to think, ‘Maybe I been wasting too much time.’
(Pondering whether you might not like to accomplish something, some minute little goal to fulfill Da Id(’)s evil tendencies. )
Kill Da Id.
Damn Id to hell.
Da Id and Id(’)s wishes.
Id needs that fulfillment.
Hence the human skull in the room.
Utterly necessary.
(A nice reminder of where we’re all going.)
So get to work muthahfukah.
Da Id ain’t got a whole lot of time left.
And Id needs.
Oh yes... Id needs...
... like the bills do the checks...and the Chex do the milk.
Did you follow that?
U need a human skull in your room, and pronto.
Do it up man. Acquire that shit. And do it fast, ’cuz yr wastin’ time.
And while Id’s at it, get a pedestal. A skull always looks nicer on top a pedestal; and maybe some posies to stick in the cracks.
However u wanna do it up. Get to it, son...stop reading this drivel

    Hmm. The profanity is awkward and makes it sound unprofessional, the id references seem odd, and the work overall isn't as profound as its author imagines. But I do appreciate skulls.
