give that fucker a handkerchief

'give that fucker a handkerchief'

that sonofabitch sat at the end of the bar

sneezed his holy fucking ass off

sprayed the air with shards of snot

while he mangled lyrics to

bennie and the jets

and as every explosion tore apart

the inner linings of his nasal membranes

what remained of dense brain cells

dirtied the motherfuck of the walls.
