A Denny&#8217;s Grand Slam is a dinner of Death!<br />
<br />Two slices of pig skin, a couple chicken fetuses<br />
<br />Sunny-side up and side of toast…<span style="font-size:78%;">please</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"></span><br />
<br />A carton of eggs is not what I see<br />
<br />Twelve homemade coffins for under two bucks<br />

<p><span style="font-size:85%;">&#8230;but that doesn&#8217;t matter anymore, because an Egg McMuffin is much more important than a chicken well versed in Euclidean geometry. The poultry populous is eternally damned .</span></p>

Mortally assassinated. <br />
Painfully annihilated. <br />
Pathetically depopulated.</p>
<p>Kill the chicken…kill…kill the chicken!<br />

<p>But I digress<br />
<br />I must confess<br />
<br />My body yearns for bacon<br />
<br />My head is throbbing<br />
<br />I must give in<br />
<br />To my paganistic, carnivorous desire of flesh<br />
<br />Give me some bacon and let the pig bleed!

<p>I was enlightened with the fact, that mangoes belong to the same family as poison ivy, the <a href="http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/339/4/235">Sumac family</a>. Certain cultures have made this fruit a staple in their diet. Puerto Rico became one of those countries. In 1750, the mango was introduced to their island and Puerto Rico embraced it. After two and half centuries of consumption, Puerto Ricans have unknowingly developed a natural immunity to poison ivy.<br />
Case in point, my friend Ricardo and I were running through the woods naked. I unfortunately was hospitalized for a burning, eczematous rash and mi amigo Ricardo came out unscathed.</p>

<strong>I Wish I was Puerto Rican Because I Love to Go Camping</strong></p>

I am a futon

Bare

Unsoothing

A studio staple

A bypolar byproduct of urban convenience

Some people love mattresses

Some people love couches

I go both ways

Give me your back

And I will fuck you up for days

Extremely vindictive
A pampered princess whose blood that does not clot

Nagging, Grating, Whining
Very maternal
The misery must stop
I prepared a meal laden with garlic

And a dash of resentment
I switched her toothbrush from
Soft bristle to hard

Unaware of my subterfuge
My problem is solved

Perhaps a Christmas Tree
Alas!

<br />
Reeking of human filth</p>
<p>The scent of a stripper<br />
<br />
Crack-fives and coke-frosted Benjamins, straight from Wall Street</p>
<p>When I look at a bill,<br />
<br />
I see a tree that never was!<br />
<br />
He could of been anything in the world<br />
<br />Perhaps a Christmas Tree</p>
<p>Alas!<br />
<br />
He would be doomed again<br />
<br />
35 million trees are slaughtered by ax-wielding Santas<br />
<br />
Maimed at their knees</p>
<p>
Christmas capitalist consume!</p>
<p>Merry morticians decorate with glee<br />
<br />
Rotting corpses in the guise of gaiety and garland<br />
<br />One bowl of water away from death</p>
<p>Ridiculed with trinkets, hot lights, and a gaudy gold star<br />
<br />
Humiliated, Confused<br />
<br />
Praying for euthanasia</p>
<p>Two words end their misery</p>

Yo soy un hombre flaco y blanquito.
Debil.
Baboso.
Un gringo quemado que habla mal el español.
Un poco femenino.
Alguna personas son
Blanco.
Alguna personas son
Latino.
Soy ninguno del los dos.
Yo sere Blanco por fuero
pero por dentro soy Latino.
Tráigame frijoles y maduros y dejame en libertad.
