Monsters Ball

Welcome one and all to the Monsters Ball.
We've got abhorations of nature to frighten and scare ya,
We've got freaks and geeks and stories of the meek,
We've got women with beards if your not a-feared,
A mermaid from the Atlantic to drive you all frantic,
A woman from India with her twin on the side of her,
A man with no arms who has plenty of charm,
A wolfboy from Peru, who's more afraid of you,
A man who's a ton and his skinny little son,
A lobster boy with claws who fought in the wars,
But the worst, my friend, I've saved til the end
And much to our shame we haven't given him a name
A two headed oddity that's our biggest commodity
The Blair-Bush creature is our biggest feature
It wins hands down in the carnival of clowns.
That's our show in this town as the sun goes down
Goodnight, sleep well, and welcome to Hell!

Funny poem with some - if you don't mind me saying - hilariously awful rhyming. Of course I, like everyone, love a good dig at the powers that be; personally I was just happy that there was no sign of Halle Berry's shagging histrionics. Billy Bob Thornton? Ughh.

Funny till the very end, with fire and brimstone. Liked the mixture of the rhyme, non-rhyme scheme. Well done!

Okay, I'm sending you a cleaning bill, Neil, because I just spit orange juice all over with that last part re: Blair Bush!!! This is so good and full of realism. Lobster Boy, Wolfboy, etc. Nice work!

Awesome Neil! Every line is cool man. 'A woman from India with her twin on the side of her,' LOL...cool shit. You're hilarious. I'd probably piss myself to meet you in person, or spray your crotch with southern comfort, LOL.
