U Hum

Ugly punks gulp; ugly punks hum,
slurp up funny funds, burp usufructs.
Punks sculpt yucky gunk, sculpt pus unsung.

Musty mundungus gluts up lungs;
currs, mutts snuff skunk butt.
Ugly punks gulp; ugly punks hum.

Gut fungus up-chucks uncut clumps.
Plump bugs buzz dung, suck up muck.
Punks sculpt yucky gunk, sculpt pus unsung.

Stubby thumbs schtup; muggy cunts cum.
Glum studs lust, thrust glum fucks.
Ugly punks gulp; ugly punks hum.

Muddy cumulus crud dulls rust sun;
Muddy susurrus gusts curl, clutch.
Punks sculpt yucky gunk, sculpt pus unsung.

Sulfur gulfs crunch up truth, thrum
numbly. Dust dusts us dumbly. Such
ugly punks gulp; such ugly punks hum:
sculpt unsung.
