Pylvia Splatt: Daddy Drinks Millers

Do do do boo boo boo

You you you mean bad dead old daddy bumblebee you

Boo hoo hoo buzz buzz buzzy bee bee boo boo

Twenty nine damn years white as a lilly the whole time all that suffering all that whiteness no buzz and never famous enough never! ooh the pain of it ooh

And now I've got the flu flu flu and nobody cares not even you daddy damn you I'm starting to think I got this loose screw from you

And my poems keep getting rejected because I'm so damned boring and still alive and even Mademoiselle doesn't care about me any more

And all because of you and 29 years of being your little bumblebee boo Achoo

Well at least the whiteness has to be because of you being white and German or Polish too

And paying all those bills with your boring old Polish German entomology too

With your stupid books about bumblebees and no buzz ever daddy you terrible German or possibly Polack (O daddy I love saying Polack when I have the flu!) you

I think I hate you

And also I'm starting to think I don't like you anymore too you old no buzz nazi brute you

Dead twenty two years now lying way down there under the ground among the creeping mould your withered old bones slowly turning from grey to blue

And I remember nothing about you

And that makes it all the easier to hang my special little whitegirl suffering of no buzz ever plus not being famous enough on you you you

Have I mentioned yet that I have the flu Achoo Achoo

And that I've just recently understood that that's your fault too

It's the lingering bumblebee contact trauma flu

And it almost makes me think I'm a Jew Jew Jew

I must have got this curious love of the rack and the screw from somewhere it's got to have been from you

Roses are red and it's pretty hard coming up with new rhyme words when you are just another dumb little American airhead wannabe no-buzz special flower daddy boo hoo

Daddy ever since you started drinking Millers I feel like I hardly know you you old nazi brute and saying this makes me feel kind of reckless crazy ooh

And every word of this is true unless it's not and if it's not it's because of you

You embarrass me daddy there now I've gone ahead and said it you old Polack you

And I'm not ashamed to say that because I'm a big girl now I've been around the block and I'm nobody's fool you old black shoe Polack you

And saying Polack almost gets me hot and I feel like I'm on the brink of a buzz right now ooh daddy ooh ooh ooh

Washed Out
Color floods to the spot, dull purple.
The rest of the body is all washed out,
the color of pearl.
- Sylvia Plath, "Contusion"
Week 45/52
I hate this but at the same time I love it.
I think I hate it because it's not what I usually do. You know, crazy over-editing to the point where it doesn't look like the original at all. But I kinda want to try it out.
I'll post the original (before and after photos) on my facebook page this weekend, so check it out!
(Thats suppose to be blood, haha, I suck at editing)
