Wow.
What happened to you?
You look awful.
Did you just survive
a plane crash?
Or were you beaten
with a log chain?
Or were you bitten
by a crazy raccoon?
Is it glandular?
Are you goitering?
Genetics?
Bad sugar?
Bad whiskey?
You look like the fake rock
I hide my house key in.
Is there a key in you?
Could I have the key
and go inside
your fake rock
to find out what happened?
I’m a doctor.
I have a PhD in English.
