MOTHER

King Midas In Reverse
is the ultimate metaphor
for the lot of us
everything is fine 
till we come along and turn it to shit

jolted out of complacency
your first instinct is to
stockpile that asswipe
funny
when you think of our priorities
just don't be squeezin' that Charmin, okay?

too many bodies
it's what I've been telling you
all along
too many friggin' heads
to even try to count
but nothing to be done about it now
'cept to kill a crapload of us off

is that what you've had
in the back of your mind
all along, Mother?
in the name of self-preservation?

Mars looks on
and doesn't blame you...

so quiet there now

WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT

All right

NATURE LOVERS--

Let's talk about the NATURAL man

When you get right down to it...

It is UNNATURAL to

trim one's hair

It is unnatural to

shave one's beard

Or to shave one's legs

(and I knew plenty of women in the 70's

who were fully cognizant of this!)

When you get right down to it...

It is unnatural to

get a bikini wax

Or to allow someone

to unceremoniously rip off

the hair

that is naturally growing

on one's back

with that sticky tape...

AAAAAGGGHHHH...son-of-a-BITCH !

When you get right down to it...

Were we to opt for the completely

NATURAL LOOK

we would all

(eventually)

be the spitting image of BIGFOOT

Just like the aggressive

chest-thumping

barely evolved past apehood

species that we are...

And wouldn't the Victoria's Secret fashion show look funny then?
