A simple lie (An Ode to Billy Mays)

[newsclippings]

I wrote this in Todd's "A New Prompt"


He told us his socks were white, oxy-white,
that he cooked four burgers on one pan,
while steaming his carpet

he told us that our gardens weren't, uh,
properly laid,
so he fed dirt while keeping the FLIES-away

it's too bad poor billy
increased the fighting power of
kaboom!
with crack cocaine

[billy]

for a minute i thought it were about me

loved the last stanza

Did she really write a poem about the Oxi-Cocaine guy. Awesome. It's the contrast that makes this interesting.
