It renders us tender
November 7, 2023
A man and a girl were sitting on opposite benches,
the girl says, “do we ever feel clean?”
The man replies, “i’ve found we’ve never lost our stench,”
the last time the man saw the girl, they were a bean.
The girl balls up our hands and clenches,
she shouts, “we’re not unclean!”
“I know,” responds the man, “but we speak english to the french.”
“To them,” says the man, “we are obscene.”
