Pizza is the Most Perfect Food

 

PIZZA IS THE MOST PERFECT FOOD, PROVIDING THE

Minimum Daily Adult Requirement for Infinity.

Bite the point, you get 2 points. Bite 2 points.

You get 4 points. Bite 4 points to get 8.

8 to get 16………….You get the point.

Well, the fun thing about Infinity

 is the more bites you have to

eat, the less pizza there is

to eat. PIZZA INFINITY

explains how you

can love some-

one forever.

Yet it can

end

8pm • The Lights

 8pm The lights go down. A hush

Announces you’re up! You’re on!

I’m up! I’m on! I’m missing

Your show cause I’m in mine

8 pm All over town. Thousands

Go up! We're on! Not missing

But flowing. Together. What luck!

Stage struck. Aall at the same time


• Touch Here…to speak 日本

• Touch Here…to speak 한국어

• Touch Here…to speak Español

• Touch Here…to speak Россию

 

Touch! Hear how to learn to say: I love you

in Chinese • Wǒ ài nǐ

in Korean • Salanghaeyo

in Spanish Te quiero

in Russian • Ya lyublyu tebya

 

With lust and gusto, I Touch Here!

But no money comes out

Then, all I can say in English is

S%*$#T!


 

IOWA

boyfriend

gave me his shirt

Size large on me

Reads OW

But when I get breasts

I'll be in

IOWA


 

When pizza drops from a palm tree

When an apology resurrects broken glass

When cake counts as a vegetable

And my neighbor stops being an ass

I’ll still be straining to hear it

Instead I said it to you, alas

I love you

 

When tenderness rhymes with pickles

When kindness makes you hot

That day it might be different

But this year definitely not

When I offered my soul to you

You gave it that jab to the heart

I love that we are friends


 

Ultimate Beauty Tip

 

Forget the make-up, facelifts, and lotion

Forget exercise, diets, and surgery

The way to appear beautiful?

Make people laugh

 

It’s a physiological fact

Laughing eyes squint

So you can’t see too well

Seen through laughter?

 I look great!
