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.

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.
