Lesser-Known Beefs

by MC Poetry

Kris Kristofferson vs. Toby Keith

David Cross vs. Larry the Cable Guy

Man vs. Ribs

Zombies vs. Chomsky

Grimace vs. Skank McMuffin

Arby’s Roast vs. It’s Not Liquid in a Bag That Is Boiled and Sliced, Now Come On That Is Just Stupid and Gross

such as my friend whom I sat with
rivals Anakin Skywalker’s feelings towards Sand People
felt a bit like the Asian boy in Gran Torino
plant consumption is about as basic to human instinct as singing along to “Don’t Stop Believing”
drops acid as much as Britney Spears drops her baby
less experience with drugs than Tim Tebow has with books
find a way to make Jimmy Fallon’s talk show funny
a night at a Phish concert
less been successful than Matt Damon’s attempts to be taken seriously
more dangerous than a Bob Knight locker room after a loss
filled with bears
even if you took away all the drugs in the world
increasing faster than the number of “Carrie Prejean sex tape” Google searches
tied our country up like Ann Darrow
make King Kong seem about as menacing as our football team’s defense
I hope I didn’t offend anyone
