This set of paper-towels

is really fuckin' gettin' on my nerves,

because it doesn't fit on my table!

But, fuck me, right?

There's nowhere else to put'em

where the convenience of others

is respected right down to the trim. 

Day in, day out-

All I can ever seem to get my hands around 

is the back of your hair

while I have to be the one 

who does the dishes 

in this stupid lair. 

I thought he'd pick up his weight, 

because he had years 

upon me, 

but he just denied 

what sat right 

in front of his pale, white face. 

What a sorry disgrace!
