EXAMPLE 1:
Cinnamon Bear (Copyright © Cynthia Jones, May.22/2005)
Cinnamon bear quietly sits
Suddenly, he goes into a fit,
It's all because he cannot sh*t
Knows he can't quit, knows he can't quit.
EXAMPLE 2:
Revenge in Wax (Copyright © purplepeninportland, 10/21/2011)
In the wax museum they came alive
Each one began to multiply
Until they numbered thirty-five
Who will survive? Who will survive?
They carried knives, swords, and axes
prepared to slay as the moon waxes
They'd exact revenge, no emails or faxes
No new taxes! No new taxes!
