Grab it By The Testicle

A poem for the college and high school graduates of the year 2011 (and future years as well...I believe it all applies.) Also, past years, if we can ever figure out how make YouTube videos go back in time.

From SimEarth I learned what that crustaceans existed before fish. From SimTower I learned that things are never as simple as they seem.… Continue
