JIMMY CARTER

I grew up
in a Republican home

so I was told
he was a "disgrace"
and a "weakling"

I was 10 years old

and had food on my
table

and a backyard to
play in

so I believed it.

Now I know
that
anybody
a Republican
thinks is a disgrace

is probably a goddamn saint

that drum on the loading dock
marked

DANGER: CONTAINS MANDARIN ORANGES AND SHREDDED COCONUT. AND MARSHMALLOWS. AND IT’S PINK. AND MILKY. 

I call it “Satan’s Confetti”

“The Importance of Getting a Physical When You’re Like 35”  -for Tim DeClerck

yeah, get a physical
at age 35

but treat the doctor as an adversary 

don’t admit how much you drink

don’t admit how much you smoke 

say stuff like “How much do YOU smoke, asshole?”

return home self-satisfied, 
and in need of a new doctor 

get drunk 

die young
