I believe I am pretty fucking fond of my new puppy

[sharpestscalpel]

He ain't house-broke just yet but he'll learn. He's learning already - there's some smart behind those blue eyes.

Hell, I may just be all excited to have a new goddamn project; Jos always said I didn't have enough shitting ambition but she might just choke on that politician husband of hers's cock before I'm done with this one.

Maybe it's a goddamn sign because I sure as fuck ain't sat down to write fucking poetry since we split our ways.


The first fucking thing to know
is that I ain't a man for hope,
wishes on goddamn stars as we travel,
or sentimental gestures of flowers.

I ain't a man to be faithful,
long-suffering, or patient -
those were the qualities of a ghost
who passed through my childhood walls.

But the second thing, the second damn thing:
it is only this, that I will feed you
and house you as you burn down the world;
I will hold the matches as you strike the flame.

But your comment is in my journal.

Hell, I cannot believe I am having this fucking argument with a seven year old version of my goddamn asshole of a captain.

Listen, kid, you know what a fucking metaphor is?

Your teacher is a lying fucking whore because you obviously ain't learned a goddamn thing using that spellchecker or you wouldn't need it so damn bad.

If you're anything like, fuck, the grownup you that I know, you are too damn smart for this sort of bullshittery.

You ain't my captain; you are seven fucking years old. This is one of those alternate universe things. No, you can't fly my ship. I'm chief medical officer so I do a lot of doctor things.

A metaphor is where you say something is like something else - except without using "like" because if you do, that's a simile. Clear?

Lying whore don't mean not nice.
