more nada #101
art bored with family stories?
too bad here’s another I was
born with an unsightly splotch
at the base of my spine nothing
harmful but my folks thought
it a good idea to have it removed
it left a hefty scar all during grade
school my sister pat told her pals
I’d been born with a tail they’d
approach me wanting me to pull
my panties far enough down to
reveal convincing evidence I
of course refused nothing sexual
about this just curious kids my
dad said tell them we didn’t pickle
the evidence but you could still
show them your forked tongue
