Funny Poop
  • Riots and protests were rapidly getting out of hand in LA, Miami, Atlanta, and New York. Tear gas, water hoses, beanbags and rubber bullets, nothing was working. Finally desperate police had to fly helicopters over and dump boxes of job applications into the raging mobs. Crowds were dispersed in less than two minutes.

Etcetera

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
