Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

The following is lighthearted foray, not intended as insult. I'll insult no one before their time.


Throw away

Boiled
Rendered
Skimmed
Strained
Squeezed through a cheese cloth
Scraped down the drain

The insult goes
or so I've been told
"the best part of you
ran down your mother's legs"
and got stuck in her pantyhose

Don't believe it
Don't buy it
Don't accept it
always defy it
The human lie

In fact
I'll proceed a step further
dangle a toe
over the edge
and say
Fuck em all
Fuck em all
the tall
the short
and the small
if they haven't got
anything good to say

Comatose heart
vaguely aware
but never quite
giving voice

Well
if in doubt
laugh
take the insult
as amusing anecdote
for there's nothing
wrong
with
you

And so I laughed
when the insults flew

I dodged the adage
"The fault lies with you"

Just smile
take it in context
twist the insult
into a pretzel
and chew

Insult me
but do so creatively
to do otherwise
insults butt you
