Tisk-Tisk


           Dumb is never cute

sweetheart,

unless you're a puppy

chasing a laser beam.

 

Being a fool is unattractive

            darling,

unless you can

laugh about it too.

 

            Baby,

don't you know,

you have to get up,

get back out there.

 

            You should know

love,

that color isn't flattering,

but if it makes you... happy.

 

Shouldn't you get that

princess,

            it is common sense

but I guess you aren't so common.
