There's always someone
with an Affliction you can't mention
Because he's in denial.
"Cats!" Why are we talking about cats?
There's always someone in Denial.
Everyone 
smile!
Fred's not here.  He's dead.
Ghosts behind you.
"Heil" everyone!
That's not funny.
I said "affliction" not "infection."
He looks like Justin Bieber.
His name is Kyle.
Lavender 
is not her color.
There's always someone who says "Midget."
Who's in de Nile?
Old men add nothing but bile.
Puce is her new black.
What's an erstwhile Quisling?
"R-E-S-P-C-T" should have another "E."
Selfies, selfies, selfies.
That Bieber joke is vile.
My Universe is not expanding.
Who invited Velazquez?
We're 
gonna eat in a while.
There's always someone who's
a Xenophobe or a Bieberphile.
Yawn
