Into the canal with you

From: Social commentary

By Mat BarnsleyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Your mind is like a Venetian canal -

It's narrow and full of excrement!

Spewing out rubbish left and right,

Your brain is senescent.

Your bigotry is plain to see,

Though you mask it off as wit.

You're like a Duracell for profanity -

You just keep on being a shit!

The media sits by and waits for more,

For the next time you'll erupt...

But I wish you'd do us all a favour -

And please just shut the fuck up.
