Double Up On Shock
Double up on shock.
And gather as much as possible,
To keep stocked...
When a wishing for it,
Can no longer be resisted.
Profiling those suspected,
Of being nonconformists AND independent thinkers...
Is enough to carry around a signed baseball bat.
Hopefully to be sold before its actual usage.
Stained memorabilia does not produce a high price.
Not to pay at someone else's expense.
'Excuse me?
Is that blood?
OR ketchup?
With the remains of someone's nose,
Dried into the bat? '
~Oh no.
But it certainly appears that way.
If purchased today...
We can discount it for you.~
Double up on shock.
And gather as much as possible,
To keep stocked...
When a wishing for it,
Can no longer be resisted.
Who knew that all that oil gushing in the Gulf,
Was coming up from a mile down?
And the oil companies are constructing a giant finger,
Made from a combination of 'Oops! ' and 'Huh? '
To curtail ('wink') a seepage that may be seen...
Hanging around for a while.
Oh...
And that giant finger sent down to plug up the gush?
Is sure to be a hit with the kids this coming Christmas.
Is there any sense of decency? ANYWHERE?
When squirrels are seen refusing free nuts being offered...
What can be said about the level of respect given to human beings?
It has dipped!
Not fluctuating like the stock market.
But on a dip that seems permanent.
Yes!
Double up on shock.
