A ‘Telescopic Travesty’
“No more, please,”
she exclaimed
holding out her hand.
I am REPULSED
by that ‘Sentiment’
you’re Desperately
trying to find
the Strength to utter
… Jesus Christ!!!
“I never asked for this,”
is one of my favourite
‘Cop-Out’ thrown
-over-the-shoulder
remarks as I’m leaving.
Bigger and Better
… onto, yeah.
“The [Magical] ‘Road
Away From You’
leads [Absolutely]
Every-Fucking-Where!”
