[ What Do You Say? ]
[ How Do You Say It? ]
[ It Could Last More Than A Day ]
[ To Even Discuss A Little Bit ]
[ People Believe What They’ve Heard ]
[ So They Stand Their Ground ]
[ They Won’t Believe Another Word ]
[ Of Anyone Still Standing Around ]
[ Divide & Conquer Is The Mantra In Their Head ]
[ That Has Been The Main Thought ]
[ Ever Since It Was Said ]
[ By The Leader That They Blindly Follow ]
[ When They Are Shown The Facts ]
[ The Words Come Out Hollow ]
[ If Their Leader Said It, Then It Is Sold ]
[ No Matter How Bold ]
[ No Matter How Cold ]
[ You Can Obviously See ]
[ That They Always Do Exactly What They Are Told ]
[ Lost Sheep Is What They Look Like Some Days ]
[ They Will Mimic Their Leaders Ways ]
[ Then They Ignore Those Who Stray ]
[ It Is Never Worth The Effort ]
[ If You Start To Try ]
[ You Probably Should Stop Short ]
[ Then Turn & Abort ]

[ It Is Not So Much That You Took The Easier Low Road ]
[ But It Seemed @ Times ]
[ That You Made Everyone Around You See That You Hardly
Ever Pulled Your Own Load ]
[ Society Knows That They Are A Social Bunch ]
[ Always Loving Companionship For Dinner, Breakfast Or
Lunch ]
[ A Possible Reason Why Society Is Bitter, Anti-Social & Mean ]
[ May Be Because This Virus ]
[ Made Everybody Self Quarantine ]
[ Social Deprivation Can Have Very Harmful Effects]
[ It Can Cause Some People To Disrespect ]

[ Open Your Mind & Eyes Then Take The Headphones Off
Of Your Ears ]
[ & Your Head ]
[ Then Make A Stand To Listen To What Is Said Right Here ]
[ Instead ]
[ Of Trying To Listen To What Is Going On Over There ]
[ For If It Involved You]

(880)▪︎[ What? … 10•20•2020 ]
If Humpty-Dumpty Was Living In 2020 The Kingsmen Would Never Color Him Purple. Little Red Ridinghood Would Try To
Get Married In White, But The Little Bear Stood Up & Protested By Saying ( SHE IS FAR FROM PURE! ). Papa
Bear Would Say That She Stole More Than Porridge From
Our House. The 3 Pigs Co-Existed In One House But Ran A Mechanics Shop. Before Humpty Foolishly Went Up That
Wall His Chinese Restaurant Was Shut Down Because Of
City Wide Accusations That They Were Responsible For All
Of The Missing Cats & Small Red Haired Children. The
Lady That Lived In A Shoe Was Arrested For Running &
A National Meth Lab Ring. She Smuggled All Of Their
Products In The Left Rear Hubcap Of Old 1975 Yellow
Ford Pinto’s. If There Ever Was Something Found In The
Front Right Hubcap That Would Be Baking Soda That Was
Being Delivered To A Small Rural Town In Georgia. Wild
Coyote Actually Went On To Become A Republican Senator
Working For Trump. He Was Mugged Then Kidnapped By
A Child Porn Organization Gone Wrong. N.A.M.B.L.A. Took
No Ownership For This Incident. But They Did Leave Free
Pamphlets About Their Organization @ Many Trump
Recruiting Offices. The Wicked Witch Was Shot Down By
A Sniper With Ties To The Archie’s Gang. The Flintstones
Never Liked The Rubble’s Because Bam Bam Abused Dino
When He Was A Puppy. Popeye Did Love His Spinach But
Olive Oyl Was Extremely Anorexic Because She Would
ONLY Eat Celery & Creme Soda. Sometimes Olive Oyl Would
Steal His Pipe & Smoke Crack. Many Teddy Bears Threw
Up Their Paws, Got Tired Of The Hugs & Obscene Things
Done To Them By Young Boys & Joined The Teamsters
Unions. Doctors Have Found That The Donald Is Truly A Woman
With A Really Ugly Man-Face. 2020 Has Been The Worse
Year That We Have Ever Had This Year Besides Last Year
Leading Up To This Year That Was Two Years Prior To Next
Year After That. I Fear For Next Year Because There Is
Supposed To Be A Purple Bicycle Jello Ring Uprising
Going On During The 3rd Sunset Of Everyday That
Does Not Have A ( D ) In It. If Not Then,Then When, Men
Named Ken? It Would During The Uprising Of The Pink
Slugs Drinking Beer @ The Bars. That Would Be Something
To Hear.
