Anatomy's a Killer Line
If you wanna really
make out and be a poet on the internet
even though you don't write poetry
that smokes a sonnet's worth of shit
All you need to do is
change your profile pic
Don't... tell the others
but it works every time
Just masquerade
as a hot skinny chick
admiring her assets graciously
shaking hair over a cruel tan
chilling in a beefsteak bikini
through the lips
of a juicy-juice smile
For the sake of
maximum exposure
it's better letting something slip
until you're wrapping yourself
round a solitary palm tree
stranded on a lonely heart beach
squirming those dainty-toes
in hot white sand
Practice looking bored
(that's the easy part)
Then gaze wistfully out to sea
with a painted shining teardrop
in the corner of your eye
There'll be no more need
to fret about your writing style
Forget ratings
read counts or comments
you'll have to work out
how to handle all the email tribs
when the horde of hungry woo-you's
play 24/7 tsunami with your inbox
Usually them dong-dawgs
get so bat-eyed captivated
you could copy out
a plug wiring guide backwards
and still kick Shakespeare's ass
before dusk blinks night in Nairobi
And don't ever underestimate
the awesome combination
of photoshoots, Google and testosterone
if you're serious about promoting
the deadliest kind of poem
anyone could ever write
