Three multi-colored horizontal lab rats
tested for a disease without parental consent.
Results create a problem
of great magnitude, and a
rude, nude, clown brings a

The local sports team is winning
the choirs still singin’
and all the fans are still grinning
with their tires still spinning
but you, you lose.

and your own balls are now blue.

Just when he said
it wont happen to you
Surprise!
He lies,
and the outcome.
You Die.
