"Who even knows what a gallbladder is for? I do, it's to sell." My favorite part of this 'poem'. Great job Alex.

This one hit me hard, because I'm fast approaching that time in my life. Financial stability, or your soul? Choose!

"....it's to sell!" -best line ever

Nailed it! I'm 59 years old: part of the Baby Boom generation. We were the largest part of the population. We were going to change the world -- until cold, hard cash happened.

The delivery of the last line was what really hit it home for me. Beautifully written, as always, Alex. Please don't ever stop; I love it too much!

[Figs]

All I can say is, it's even better live.

[britanypilgrim]

can't wait to see him tonight preform! he is honestly legitimately jazztastic compared to the poor lack of emotion the poets in my local hometown present on stage. although, full respect for their confidence to even go up!

[izzleshizzle]

Arg! I was so close to going to see this!!

[LisaThinksALot]

Gallbladders actually sell? Man, I had to pay money to get it taken out ...

[shelbyteresak]

My greatest fears as a college student... I came here to gather opportunities but I'm scared I'll end up selling their skeletons.
