Wow, that was really good. I could almost hear some other dead person playing the bongo drums while I was reading it.

I really just don't care that you died. Your poetry sucked.

I'm floating in the water....

I spit on Mama's lips, to give her moisture.

Now wait. If you are floating in the water why don't you put some of that water on Mama's lips? Why spit?

Maybe you're poor because you are really, really stupid?

Aren't these the lyrics of the song Keith Urban sang at his wedding?

Thanks. That line is funny, not as funny as the "pome," but right up there.

That pic is so great. I'm dying here from laughing so hard. Please, somebody, write a "pome" on me.

Everyone is running upstairs to see what I'm laughing about. They are spilling drinks and crying at this pic.

I'm dying because I'm poor
I'm poor because leeches in Washington swamp have been sucking my blood
I'm poor because leeches in blue enclaves have convinced others that its ok to suck the sweat of my brow, and reap the harvest of my initiative
I'm poor because lampreys of legislation have decided to drain me, and throw a yoke on my shoulders while stating I'm not working hard enough for those who will not lift a finger to help my burden
My spirit is dying because despite being told I can achieve the American dream, those things I strive for are given away to those who cut in line
My lifeblood bleeds, from a thousand cuts in my back from those who I have supported, who have told me they are looking out for my best interests
As I die, ,and having scavangers feed upon my life's blood, I sip arsenic, and bend that portion of my mind that remains free, to salt the earth under your hiding places
When I have passed and you scurry away to enjoy your fill, there will be nothing left, and in your death throes, know that that rictus upon my skull is truly a grin....

Morbidity deserves morbidity.
