A boy walks into a bar

They told me...they urged...they hounded me. Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't get with her...don't...don't...don't. But I was young and hormon'ly impaired...from the waist down...producing extraordinary amounts of the chemical...'UR2 STUPID'... I couldn't hear...the head I was hearing from...didn't have ears...it just had a big...ddddddetermination to get itself in deep trouble...

So...there she was...trouble. One of her brothers smacked me in the nose...but I thought...that's just gotta be a sort of party favor...and so...I persisted...in my determination, until...ultimately...we experienced hell...for several years.  If I had just NOT done it...but can you...really...believe an angel telling you...I'm a talent agent...from Hollywood...we will fix your teeth...send you to acting school,,,and make you a star...if you just DON'T DO IT!

Well...of course you can't...but I sure as shit should have...and paid the dearest possible heartache...for that little love spell someone laid on me...20 years later mom was still tired...of me going Boo-Hoo, and dad...dad knew I was a total fool...nothing could sooth me...she had a lot of friends...I had a North Slope job...and comes home to an empty house...next door neighbor guy said "she's at a stripper bar"...

turns out...that wasn't all he knew...or why...she got a friend...fell in love with him...took the little trashy trailer house...a boy walks into a bar...bongggggg! A man walks away on temporary reprieve...but stupid wasn't finished with me...cause...I'm harnessed to my own enemy...Mr. handsome, charming, smarmy, disingenuous...sex organ...that I used to be...

God forgive me...he made me...what I am...I just exacerbate the whole damn thing...learning is a bitch, and as a teacher, I met mine...several times...and here's the catch...I thought high school...was a graduation...no...that was just the kid stuff...just the hopeful happy sappy...little kid stuff...lesson is...don't bring it on yourself...otherwise...it's just a mess...stay away from her...don't do it!...stay away from him...don't do it! The real good dreams come together if you...Just Don't Do It! The end.
