Jason Henninger
Gerald, oh Gerald-
come down from the ladder
and take off the noose
just because you’re not very good looking
that's no reason to snap your neck.
Gerald, poor Gerald
get out of the bath
and don’t touch the electric fan
you’ve only got herpes after all,
and it's not like anyone sleeps with you anyway
Gerald, sweet Gerald,
Put the shotgun down
and close your mouth
a urinary tract infection
is no reason to ventilate your skull.
