Where to find 'more'
CAT PORNOGRAPHY

I'm a good man, now -
I broke up with my best friend's girlfriend
and, well, you know…
my… girlfriend's best friend.
I'm selling all the pot,
and the eugenics tracts
and the cat pornography
on E-Bay
at, likely, a VERY reasonable discount.
I'm a good man, dammit!

I'm giving the widows and orphans some time
to have a better chance to find new homes after eviction:
a whole month
well, a week.
OK, the rest of the day.

I'm a good man, now.
I'm changing my ways, becoming better and better.
Please consider this.
Please take me back.

Oh, hell. If you want,
I'll even stop pimping those teenage twins…
Next year.
