Someone said therapist
I screamed
Sex offender

Thanks for reading!
Little bit of Tuesday subversive fun.
Isn't language fun.
Or is this just me hiding darker, more serious themes beneath a swirling sea of sewage?

I read the title, and I was like WHAT?! Then I said, only Paul could write something like this. I checked and I was right. I don't even know which line shocked me more. 🤣Brilliant!
Eh..subversive it is. Escalated from Latin into something else quickly! Well done on that, Paul.
When I saw the poem pop up in my notification ls I thought "Oh, no! A typo!" I was SO not prepared for the it to be intended, well done 🤣
Are the two mutually exclusive? Isn't the point of subversive humor to approach the unapproachable?
