Alice felt ugly, so gave herself cheap,
Ben grew a beard 'cause he though it looked Deep.
Charles had a terribly long and weak chin,
Diana barfed often so she could stay thin.
Edgar told lies as a way to sound cool,
Fanny sold X to her pals after school.
Graham likes picking his nose with a stick,
Helen used to eat it until she got sick.
Ingrid has only one subject: her Needs,
Jim finds your scab and then picks till it bleeds.
Ken is so lazy he sleeps until noon,
Len killed his wife, sent her corpse to the moon.
Michael is always off touching himself,
Nancy's got acne she picked up in Guelph.
Owen eats donuts until he's all puffy,
Paula wipes snot on her sheets when she's stuffy.
Queenie is one royal pain in the neck,
Rhonda takes Prozac, but still is a wreck.
Stan likes to razor his gerbils for fun,
Topher's in fast food: he hawks on your bun.
Ursula spraypaints vile words in the stalls,
Vincent is constantly scratching his balls.
Wendy eats cat food, just for the taste,
Xander likes smearing himself with his waste.
