Artistic Putdowns
- The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.
- I don’t know what your problem is, but I’ll bet it’s hard to pronounce.
- Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
- I have plenty of talent and vision, I just don’t give a damn.
- I like you. You remind me of me, when I was young and stupid.
- What am I?? Flypaper for freaks?
- I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.
- I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
- Ahhh, I see the fuck-up fairy has visited us again.
- It’s a thankless job, but I have a lot of Karma to burn off.
- Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

- I may look like I’m doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I’m quite busy.
- At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.
- You are validating my inherent distrust of strangers.

The Process
I’m, as you imagine, as plain as plain can be.
The place is Piccadilly, the players, he and she.
She whimpers, Will it hurt? Of course not whispers he,
It’s a very simple process, you can rely on me.
I’m really rather scared said she,
I haven’t had this before.
My friend has had it seven times.
She said it can be sore.
Then finally she consented
To lie back and relax a bit,
And quickly he bent over her,
And then he started it.
It was getting rather painful,
And tears flowed from her eyes.
It was really hurting now,
It must be quite a size.
Just try to be calm, he said,
His face filled with a grin.
Try and open a little wider,
So I can get in.
It’s coming now he said.
I know, she said with bliss.
Feeling deep within me
She said, I’m glad I’m having this.
And with a final effort,
She gave a final shout.
She grinned at him in anguish,
And he finally pulled it out.
She lay back, quite contented.
She sighed, and gave a smile
And said, I’m glad I came now,
You’ve made it worth my while.
Now if you read this carefully,
A dentist you will find.
It’s not what you imagine,
It’s just your dirty mind.
You are officially awesome 🙂

Second time this week I need to pull my mind out of the gutter. Friend bought new van and said he was gonna christen it…I responded.with “Ick TMI…”, to which he responded, “Mind outta the gutter, J, I was talking about bringing some Goldfish crackers.” He has two little kids. Your poem was funny!

You are multitalented and I’m impressed! Also, above, I loved the “my brain is out, leave a message.” Wow – you should write for some of the late-night talk show hosts – they would improve! Good job! Nan 🙂
