Norman, the predator

on nude, shivering Janet

Leigh asks that you cut out

the mucking

around, flipping the bird,

clucking

and indeed write anything but about

shucking

because he abhors that word

shucking

see - 'twas not even written into the line

Please do not say "that word" in front of my children
who were conceived in the proper missionary position
while we were proper missionaries, bringing proper
morals to uneducated heathens who did not even
have jobs or use money and walked around with their
shocking naked unspeakables on display, not even caring
that Jesus can see them. We brought them
civilisation and they turned on us. We sold them guns
to defend themselves and they shot at us. We gave them
The Book and they found others. They have no gratitude.
Fucking blacks.

And there it all is.

I'm just really easily pissed off

A quality I find appealing in anyone not pointing a loaded firearm at my head.
