pissed off poem
i wish i could of wrote
in '57 before i found out
the catcher was in the rye
by Spiel
i got a fuckin hard on again
an i just jacked off at city hall
an hour ago an i left my cum
floating in the toilet water
cuz i cant stand this fuckin fony
one-horse-town   but shit
i dont have a fuckin clue
how to pick up my fony polite
fucking ass an haul it to where
a decent queer-fairy can suck
off half the football team's
fuckin horny cocks
without that fuckin bully
jimmy harrison kickin a guy's
fuckin car door in
an callin him a cocksucker
an not one a those fony fuckin
ball players come runnin to stand
up for a guy   but they sure
come runnin any old time
the fony fuckers
need a fuckin blowjob
real bad
