anything but

This is the damage a hoarder can do

to hoarders, addicts and all those mentally dysfunctional people who have the right to systematically destroy everyone else’s life around them yet no one has the no right to stop them until, maybe, after the havoc and destruction is committed

refuse, feces
peanut butter, noodles
tear drenched pillow
physical contact

moldy dishes
cracker crumbs
fly paper
straight up Vodka

copy machine panel
kibble bags
loose carpet fiber
entitlement check

gastric volcano
intestinal flat worms
cerebral hornets
obligations to be met

My son pointed out to me that snopes reports this as FALSE. I am not reporting this story. It’s a funny poem, written for a prompt. So, no. This is not real. Yes, the tattoo looks fake because it is fake etc.

I found more pictures of this baby on Drill Baby. It’s not a real baby. It’s a work of art.
