I used to love language.
Edited on Thu Oct-16-03 09:17 PM by rbnyc
I think I still do, but in a raunchier way. In many ways I'm not as smart as I used to be, but even this has its gifts. For example, after reading Ted Kennedy's floor remarks tonight, these were my reflections on the Bush* Administration:

You lied.
You suck.
You're idiots.
You fucked up.
People are dying.
You're profiteers.
You screwed us.

And I thought, this is our perfect message. I want to make it into a song, a jingle. This is our freaking ad campaign. This is pretty damn clear.

EDIT: I never catch all my typos in preview!

2. I don't know...

...it reminds me of that George Carlin cheer. I loved that cheer he used to do when I was a kid.

"Bat shit, rat shit, dirty old twat.
69 asshole tied in a knot.
Hooray! Lizard shit! Fuck!"

4. I love it.
Edited on Thu Oct-16-03 09:28 PM by rbnyc
I'm going to cut it up, put it in a different order, and use it for my new song.

:)

Okay, I really have to go now. My hubby is waiting for me. He thinks I want to run away with Ted Kennedy.

But I actually do really like your poem, and I love poetry enough to hate it. (EDIT: hate poetry that is, not your poem, which I love.)

Oh boy. I shouldn't have had that brownie.
