The End of the Asterisk

On considering religion

or military conscription

is the moment

I realise

I'm stuck

Asserting ourselves at traffic lights

in foreign countries in the very dead of night

is the moment

I realise

I'm stuck

Uh-oh, this is the end of the asterisk.

Babe, that punk's got nothing on me, this is the end of the footnote.

Extorting money

from your parents

Your disgusting parents.

Honestly, you're an absolute waste of time

craving attention with your self deprecation.

I'll tell you one thing:

It's spot on

and I'm better

Uh-oh, this is the end of the asterisk.

Babe, that punk's got nothing on me, this is the end of the footnote.

Extorting money

from your parents

Your disgusting parents.

Honestly, you're an absolute tragedy,

not like 'heroically' in all of the books you read.

I read your novella,

oh how I laughed.

Killed off the lot of them.
