what tony does when he is silly with fatigue

Pepe Le Pew Falls In Love Online

ah, my friend, the internet,
she is like the flirt!

all the time pretending that she is out there
solid as a good baguette when

truly she is a stale and fickle loaf
good only for serving memes and spam and no reason

to respond — ah, the Nigerian scammers! mwa, mwa, mwa!
ah, the penile enlargers! the generic druggists! mwa, mwa, mwa!

i shall, my darling internet, learn to hold you as the tenderest lover,
knowing all the time that you are fragile and only as deep

as I make you to be in my shallow eyes — ah,
the teen beauties! ah, the poetry pathetique! mwa, mwa, mwa!

ah, the bloggers, we who yearn for each others’ hands
to reach out and hold us, warm with comfort

and a perfume
like warm bread!
