Crestfallen I am Without the Fine Torso

We're all going to hell in a handbasket and you're paying the bills

said the official aficionado to the fucking moron eating the pills

Addiction and consumption be the death of us, sin and sin be us

auspicious is a word, as is deference, and another word is us

The man on the street is the man in the house--

So, you know the hellbasket is handcarved from he guts and bones

of anyone and anything that deserved to be devoid of guts and bones

sapiosexuality is something we don't speak aboit nearly enough

I said, of course, with all the meaning of a bored German huff

Puff the Magic Dragon was not the Dragon you think he was

I said, of course, with all the reasoning of a bored Italian, my cous

You know you've angered someone when they won't pay for your--

and instead only provided you with luxury derves aur

I often feel so often that I often feel so often that I--

You know the phrase "hell is other peepholes" right, I--

Feelings mutual schmuck, said I, of course, with, I--

then of course, we all looked like sardines...

Churchill once said "never, never, give with no loss of enthusiasm"

I said, to the disgruntled IKEA member of staff as he and I--

sat like penguins at a NATO summit, or summat, can't reamember, I--

I know what your thinking - get to the point,

wassock

I know, I know I need to stop thinking

with the cock

But the point, is the point of the end

of the day

She left me, for I knew not what

to really say

when she told me she felt a shift in her perception of life and felt befallen with crestfallen sadness and the deepest melancholy any one person should never have to suffer in silence with, she felt the weight of the shoulders of the world on her torso and what a fine torso it was

it was being the past tense, my past tense, for she left me the same day, sense left me, cous.
