    In the Middle Ages a colonoscopy cost a lot of coin, but it was thorough.

    It seems Pieter Brueghel, the Younger / may have had a fixation on dung, er… /… what I’m trying to say / in a less filthy way, / is his vision of Hell is from hunger. /// He fought hard to diverge from the Elder. / (Or as Freud would have deemed him, “the gelder.”) / And his Mom was no help / to her ungrateful whelp. / The sad fact is his painting repelled her.

    When I first found this duffel of dough / I was lit’rally L.M.A.O. / But it now makes me cry / and to ask Heaven why / there’s a mammoth square void down below.

    There once was a painter named Pete/ a cynic, somewhat indiscrete/ whose depiction, immortal/ “The Posterior Portal”/ will probably never be beat.///In a manner supremely didactic/ Pete employs a symbolic tactic/ to try to align/ our ethical spine/ through “painterly chiropractic”.// But such is the nature of men/ though we hear it again and again/ we may seek the ethereal/ but we’re mainly material./ Here endeth the sermon. Ay-men.

    I’ve heard these old artists guys had toxic substances in their paints. Butt that’s way too much $#!^ to deal with. Who is this Melcher guy and how long did his parents beat him?

    Just minutes before the start of the Rose Parade, engineers raced to repair the out-of-control coin-pouring mechanism. Would there still be enough time to re-cover the access panel with fresh pink rose petals?

    The little men could hardly believe that this portal would allow them to enter the rich man’s innards. The doorway, after all, had just now been hastily drawn on the giant’s posterior by a bipedal coyote with an Acme marker.
