Honest Humor


HONEST HUMOR Honey forget the guy who called you fat, it’s he’s fault he doesn’t like to “eat that much.” 
He’s just another one of those loners with a crippled mindset about beauty, I mean how does he expect love and compassion after carelessly torturing your emotions with words as horrible as such. 
Please do me a solid next time you see him and hit him with a brunch the. 
Don’t get me wrong am no prince charming but if you’re wondering and dreaming about being part of my fairytale its already gat a princess who needs no glass slipper. 
Her name was once jasmine so when we met her friends called me Aladdin, but since we had genie our love was the only magic that gave her ex a mood called tragic the second he realized he lost her. 
Believe me you I just want to kiss all the pain his ignorance caused and wake her from her bad dream, so I guess for now you can call her sleeping beauty.  
I decided to sue her in the courts of law. 
But when the judge told that in her he had found no flaw. 
He decided to ask me what I was suing her for. 
I told him that she stole my heart and left me on a cliff that made me fall in love with her. 
He laughed and said “son the heart does what it wants to do” 
So if it ever wanted to come back that’s something it can’t fail to do. 
You feel in love at your own free will. 
And It ain’t my fault you can’t change how you feel. 
So am afraid your case just got a seal. 
After that I planned to propose to her minutes before the hour called midnight but at the sound of her mother’s voice she disappeared in plain sight leaving behind a shoe instead of a slipper but the shoe fits then she’s guilty as charged. 
 
 
But since I cheated fate and proposed before her mother called I guess were both guilty of stealing the romantic version of gravity that makes people fail in love. 
Don’t ask what happened next, for the answer to that question is one that can only be answered by the man above. 
Baby forget the man who called you black or white 
Its he’s fault he’s mind was programmed to only process crap and manufacture sarcastic thoughts about others. 
And not see the purpose of their existence and unique abilities so he created a limitation, 
That brought upon a demarcation a diseased infestation. 
 And gave it a fancy name called race  
How dare he call himself a man didn’t he inherit any knowledge from his forefathers. 
Not even a single gene to enable him to relate with and understand others. 
But apparently that bothers me less because racism has just become another real-life videogame born from his madness and inability to reason out  
Don’t get me wrong me wrong am not trying to flirt with you 
Matter of fact am just trying talk with you 
But if you ever believe or buy the bullshit his mouth is selling you about leaving his wife and being with you instead of her then you might find his words a bit too charming to be true. 
But here a bit of honesty if he can claim to dump his wife for you,  
What makes you so sure he’s not gona do the same to you after countless nights of meaningless intercourse in a toilet cubicle. 
Dear spare your life the shame 
And give your life some visible sane. 
I know it’s tough and hard to be alone, so it causes the heart insane. 
But look as much as I hate to be the infomercial, 
 
Please open your eyes and avoid being caught up in baby mama drama. 
I know most your lives are in love with a thing called karma. 
For once do something to satisfy your mama. 
But most importantly forget the guy who calls you dumb  
The only reason he works day and night to prove you’re dumb is because you’ve become a victim he’s desperately willing to victimize for new hobby called hit and run. 
You’ll learn that when you’re a couple months pregnant and he’s nowhere to be seen under the sun. 
You don’t believe me fine it’s you call, 
Just bear in mind that I’ll be the guy on sideline documenting your fall, 
 And I’ll gladly be the witness as you marry off your soul. 
The funniest thing is how someone can have a father but still end up being the biggest bustard. 
Bear in mind that you are unique regardless of race color or shape of your body. 
But that’s something you already know the problem is you are a long way from understanding it. 
If honesty is the best policy  
Then think of this as the honest humor.
