I'm Negative Man
who
Negative Man
oooh

I live in a Castle of Can't
sleep in a Dungeon of Don't
wear a waistcoat of Won't

I'm Negative Man
who
Negative Man
oooh

I have minus signs in my mind
I'm not a shoulder to cry on
I have onions for ions

I'm Negative Man
who
Negative Man
oooh

I have knowledge of no
and am dumb of yes
got an F on all my tests

I'm Negative Man
who
Negative Man
oooh

I'm soft as a lizard's toenail
I always expect that I'll fail
I'm positively pessimistic

I'm Negative Man
who
Negative Man
oooh

Negative

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

    Radar, you are by far one of the most talented poets on this board. I am consistantly blown away. I know you will be able to quit your day job someday.

    And I will go to Dagobah. There I will learn from Yoda, the Jedi master who instructed Ben.

    Ohhh!!
    Pick me!

    Take me with you cause I want to eat stew
    in that tiny yurt-like dwelling
    and
    be able to talk
    without yelling
    cause Ben & Yoda hears without sound
    and lets face it
    that pads so small
    even outta the room
    you're
    always around!!

    I never like to eat my cornflakes with piss - too soggy.

    I actually don't even like cornflakes or even cereal for that matter.

    But some good shit on toast always makes me :D!
