Everybody’s Somebody’s Asshole
by Ann Koplow
Everybody’s somebody’s asshole.
Everybody’s somebody’s jerk.
You may think you’re great,
But you’re bound to irritate
Someone when you’re driving or at work.
Everybody’s somebody’s asshole.
Everybody’s somebody’s creep.
Even if you’re nice,
You needn’t wonder twice
You’ve definitely disturbed somebody’s sleep.
Who’s your asshole?
Whose asshole are you?
We’re all assholes
In somebody’s view.
Everybody’s somebody’s asshole.
Some asshole told me that long ago.
It might cause you grief
Or give you some relief
That it’s okay to let your asshole show.

If I used an old-fashioned camera, all these photos might be on a roll:
Dinner was on a roll Sunday night, but not last night.
Here (and here) are two versions of Head Like a Hole/On a Roll:
Trent Reznor, Miley Cyrus, and Black Mirror are all on a roll.
Time to roll out the comments, below!
I’m on a roll with my daily gratitude, so thanks to all who helped me create this “On a Roll” post and — of course! — thanks to YOU.
and you are on a writing roll. congrats on your role and now I’m hungry for cinnamon rolls.
You are on a writing roll, too! Thanks for this delicious comment, beth.
I was ready with a bagel comment, Ann, but you beat me with the photo. Now I’ll have to say you could go onto a bialy, but those are harder to find,
Mark, you make me homesick for Brooklyn with bialy! Gotta go to the one place I know in Naples Fl that sells authentic bagels and bialys: Brooklyn Dough with a Hole. Thanks for the prompt!
Yes, bialy comes from my Wayback Machine in Brooklyn as well, Sunny. Enjoy your trip to the joint with good taste in Naples.
Bought 2 yesterday!
It’s great to find you both here, Mark and Sunny!
From the sublime (conference leader extraordinaire) to the profane (asshole lyricist), plus awesome non-roll photos! Ann, you never cease to impress and inspire me!
Thank you for this impressive, inspiring, and supportive comment, Sunny!
Your song had me literally Laughing Out Loud, and might have even had me Rolling On The Floor Laughing had I not been siting down. You are indeed on a roll which reminded me of this.
Your comment had me smiling all over, Chris.
Anne, Congrats on the published piece and honor. Your song is heartwarming…or maybe a bit lower warming.
-Alan
Your congrats are all-over-warming, Alan.
When I saw your post, my first thought was to ask you if you prefer Swiss, Sausage or Spring rolls ha
I prefer when you roll in here, Alex!
I feel the same way about you 🙂 In sunshine and rain
You’re on a roll, Alex!
There’s been so much rain this week inspired my last post haha. I’ve read your blog in all wethers.
The only time I am on a roll is when I fall over and roll down a hill
I would disagree, Joanne. You’re on a roll with GREAT comments.
I love your new song! And so true. I am definitely some people’s … uh … major irritant.
I have returned from my travels to Winnipeg and am happy to.ve back with WiFi and your blog.
I can’t believe you’re anybody’s major irritant, Maureen, because you’re a major light in my life! So happy to see you back here.
You were on a roll with those blue period photos
Thank you, Derrick! You’re on a roll with all your supportive comments.
You were definitely on a roll, my friend! Love the lyrics to your new song. I laughed at the truth delivered humorously! 🙂
You’re on a roll, my wonderful friend!
