This wuz the first piece of mine 2 ever be published by someone other than myself. I wrote it at a party while I wuz drunk and gave it 2 this chick I wuz trying 2 nail. Much later I wuz at her house and she showed it 2 me. I didn't remember writing it, but I took what she gave me and started from there and ended up here. It's original genesis may lie in a children's playground rhyme, but so far that can't really be confirmed or denied. My sister swears it is true, however. Anyone else recognize it? Have anything else 2 say about it? Let me know...
