Your Love Is Like Bad Poetry, Bad Poetry Is What I Need

and now the moon is full again

'pon but one love her light is shone
the moon, when full, is ours alone

let them sit 'neath the a.c.'s blow
it hurts them not, go Kirk. please go.

'pon but more pints our money will flow
the blue moon is full but the bud light may blow.

"they contemplate the fry sauce mavens
