Man. Thanks, but most of it is just cheap rhymes and bawdiness.


Of course, I’m sure who they end up picking isn’t going to be very good because they aren’t going to choose on Merit anyway.


This master wouldn’t even have a chance

Driving down Gardere on a warm summers day
when a few fellas from the culcha got in my way
Asked for some change, and out of my range, i gave them their share of my pay
but what came next you wouldn't believe,
they used me in a way just to deceive
they ripped open my door and threw me to the floor,
hopped in to my car and proceed to leave

Well, they certainly hit all the buzzwords in 2 sentences. Might as well say "white folk need not apply".


Institutional racism right there.

I get no respect. No respect, I tell ya. I became my hometown's poet laureate, they promised to only charge me by the word.

He thought it was a giant Bumble bee when it passed
But it was another Honda Civic that looked and smelled like arse
He saw it go by like a silver streak, even though the signs say "lane closed ahead"
We can't build that wall fast enough, his subconscious said
A few seconds later his day got better
When he heard the Honda hit an excavator

with a cooter as big as a gorge,
She brought home many men,
But they all would fall in,
Met their doom in her nethers engorged.

Not many words rhyme with George. That was a little difficult

And you used gorge twice -- once even w/the non rhyme "ed". Considering your reputation and past exploits, you should be deeply ashamed.

I considered forge, but gorge and engorged have 2 completely different meanings.
And the prefix and suffix, plus lack of other suitable rhymes, made it pass my prohibition on rhyming a word with the same word.
