I have seen the bee movie you know the one with Jerry Seinfeld playing a talking bee At least 100 times I find the whole movie upsetting Barry Benson gets more pussy than me and he is a fucking bee A bee That's right This movie is communist propaganda that's right, Forget about the birds It's Barry Benson Who is fighting the bourgeoisie I would never show my children this movie I have only watched it in such great detail for research purposes In an effort to undermine the homosexual agenda Please email me at fck69bees@gmail.com for more information on how big honey actually benefits bees — G.

I Promise I’ll Come To The Next One This play has taken Five hundred hours of your life In the last six weeks. You have sweat and wept Done everything else but slept To make the show live. It sounds really great. I don’t think I can make it. I have plans to watch Netflix. Sorry. — Blair Webber
An Ode to My College Roommate Oh Roommate, Who listens to me complain about my courses And who tells me to hold my horses! I would not make it without you Or your constant reminders that my mess is quite enormous. Oh Roommate, I will surely miss you when we graduate. I don’t think I’ll ever find such a mate, Who doesn’t mind that I am a self centered roommate That I’ve made this ode to you all about my constant state of disarray. Oh Roommate, I apologize for not being quite poetic, and for ruining this ode to you. All I really have to say is that I will always admire your athletic aesthetic. — Ivanna Guerra
