-Al-Shihab Al-Hijazi

Now that is such a lovely poem. I don't think they would write such a poem about you though. Ugly little dweeby kids with moustaches don't get poems about them. They aren't the topic of allure, I'd say. Or their fat simpleton brothers. No, I don't think such poems could be dedicated to them with a straight face. Just a fat little geek to be laughed at. A fat simpleton with no qualities worth enshrining in verse.

Never forget who's in charge.

Got me thinking about plastic surgery, it's never going to make beautiful.

No, but moustaches are. Dweebly little geeks with moustaches are very sexy. They get all the women, let me tell you (yeah, probably like his geeky niece. That is the ""woman"" he could get).

Fatty ain't here. He must be on his date with Rose and Mrs. A. That's where he is.

I don't think that's a picture of Al-Shihab Al-Hijazi btw. His poetry seems obscure and he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

Fatty's "girlfriend" probably looked like that ugly niece of his. You should see these freaks. You'd laugh.
