Pamela R. Anderson
…should be outlawed. Cruel threats
You want to count your teeth on the floor?
heartless promises
I’m going to rip off your arm and beat you with the bloody stump.
questionable advice
Life is too short to dance with ugly men.
Words designed to inflict maximum laceration
You couldn’t pour piss from a boot if the directions were written on the heel.
minimal tenderness
Shut your mouth and eat.
They sting like 5,287 hornets
Small animals shit, too.
and project into the future
I’ll be go to hell.
but never seem to consider
There are a thousand ways to skin a cat.
