Two pins and it's all fixed.
Zip up the back, stick some
Toilet paper in.
Don't rub, pat
The nuclear waste
Across your face
For a healthy glow
That
Is what we're here for
That
Is what we've come to do
Wasting minutes by the mirror.
Dress to impress you.
A pill a day
Keeps the worries away
So you don't have to worry
like we do.

&quot;So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.&quot;<br /> -F.Scott Fitzgerald, the Great Gatsby<br /> <br /> &quot;To write it, it took three months; to conceive it three minutes; to collect the data in it all my life.&quot;<br /> -F. Scott Fitzgerald
