"A Night Drinking Beer in the Southern Tier"
by Anne Altman
~
The Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills
Are not the only things you'll see in these hills
You'll find mullets, mustaches, a ton of fat asses
Some hunting hats, bad perms, and too much acid washes
But there'll be cheap beer, and beef, and chicken wings
Foozball and pool and many other things
Like music and dancing and smoking a joint
So much good stuff it's difficult to point
To the only bad thing about it for me
Which is FOX News constantly tuned in on TV
Long Live the Southern Tier!
*This is a great friggin' poem. Seriously, steal it? And I'll kill you. It's totally copyrighted and stuff.

Dr Seuss look out!
Anne Altman is out and about.
Dr Seuss beware!
Anne is writing with a lot of care.
Reading poetry like this makes me realize how full of shit Maya Angelou is.
it took you this long to realize she thinks she's so great?
Yea well, when the slanted horizon falls towards your window and shit you're thinking "WOW Maya! I hear ya!" or maybe it was the acid.
i certainly hope so. or maybe it's oprah's finger up your bunger.
