I wanted to write something that made very little sense. In part to show how easy it is(at least for me) to get caught up in literary devices and rhyming schemes and loose all meaning.

The other part, if it works right, is to show that if you look too closely at anything you'll find it more complex than it really is. The last two lines refer to that. When I wrote this I imagined that more intelligent people would be confused and angry over the nonsense it feeds you, while the "mentally disabled" would enjoy it for its simple pleasures. Jesus, I'm writing a novel about what this thing means...let me sum it up:
