Poet's Corner
"Punk as Hell"
What the hell is wrong
with that guy?
He falls so hard but
never cries.
He chokes on his puke in
his friend's bed,
After smashing some beer
bottles over his head.
He eats the trash right out
of the can,
He'll shoot the staplegun
Fun Box
right on his hand.
Everyone wonders how he
got so dumb,
It's from the strict diet
of 151.
Everyone asks him why he
gets so drunk,
And he says, "Cause that's
my duty as a punk!"

What do you call 10,000 rollerbladers at the

A good start.
