Fashion Today

Nigel before he shaved the side of his head
and most of his beard, as if to pretend
he has one, while also sliding his hair so you
can see his Make America Greedy Again inscription

 

Toys R Funky US

Seems there is no need for adulthood

When we can always toy around aging

You hear a language that shortens all

Multisyllabic words are monkey caging


Acronyms for everything having to guess

WTHIM (what the heck it means) as such

Gives us diseases and social names & games

you hear that Valley Girl tongue so much


That Wow sports a wah at the end

And the nasty work for viscous intercourse

Is used for good and bad, pronoun and verb

When as a kid you only heard it said with force


By the bullies who has just discover pubic hair

And pee pee things standing hard with a magic trust

To take on any girls or to call you motherf**ker

Threaten you with their fist or pants pistol thrust


Oh, yes you heard it said by men and women too

As if a candy bar of poison just for you

Anyway they mean it, good or ugly, wahoo

Fuckin’ is the blessed word to ballyhoo


I find it so offensive to use that teenage curse

As it it had deep meaning, cross our vocabulary

Of something that was such f*ckin’ fun or awful point

 violence at each other, political or personal story doesn’t vary


Hell, it is even fashionable not to comb or wash your hair

To wear your red base/softball hat backwards I think

To pretend you are cool, not a redneck au contraire

 buy torn jeans pretend work so manly 

work on floors beneath the sink
