I forget the poet sometimes. His words read by him. I'm a happy pappy.

[@TheMcgojoh]

@@eastrockfilms1229 His addiction to alcohol caused him to no longer be thin. I imagine his fame didn't help.

[@danielheggelund3472]

I'd rather be thin than famous, I don't wanna be fat. A woman throws me outta bed calling me "gordo". And everytime i bend over to pick up my suspenders from my davern port floor, i explode loud, huge grunto, and disgust everyone in the familio. I rather be thin than famous, but I'm fat! Paste that in your broadway show.

[@marco_solo]
