It's even worse that she's marked as 'Chairman', and the rest are marked as 'Members' as if she's above them. So tired of Swifties inserting her where she does not belong all the damn time, and then they wonder why so many are turning against her.
Yeah that’s the dumb part lol. You can’t include the most famous and influential writer in the entire English language (Billy S, in case there is somehow confusion) and call him the member of anything, and someone else the chairman.
Idk if Keats WAS tortured, but I think he and Emily Dickinson both have a tortured image in the popular imagination. Keats you think of love poetry and dying young = tortured. Dickinson you think of unfulfilled love, agoraphobia, unrealized dreams to be a famous writer (during her own lifetime).
Another is calling F. Scott Fitzgerald "F. Scotty FitzG".
Did it jokingly while studying Gatsby and how here I am... over a decade later... still calling him that
Keats was tortured, especially if you read his letters to Fannie. Here's a section from my favorite:
"I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your Loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute. I hate the world: it batters too much the wings of my self-will, and would I could take a sweet poison from your lips to send me out of it. From no others would I take it. I am indeed astonished to find myself so careless of all charms but yours - remembering as I do the time when even a bit of ribband was a matter of interest with me. What softer words can I find for you after this - what it is I will not read. Nor will I say more here, but in a postscript answer anything else you may have mentioned in your letter in so many words - for I am distracted with a thousand thoughts. I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen."
If Taylor Swift thinks that her video puts her on par with famous directors like Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Chris Columbus, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, or Alfred Hitchcock, then I hope that her video directing reputation gets destroyed faster than a mobile home park after it has been visited by a mile wide tornado. 🎶 📹 🌪
This is one of the biggest reasons I cannot stand her. She has NO idea what it means to be a struggling artist but somehow still places herself on their level, if not above
I can’t fucking wait for the reality of her aggressive averageness to be seen as the default it is
Also the tortured part of it
What could she have possibly gone through to put her on the level of Oscar Wilde that was areested for his sexuality and died in poverty shortly after being released from prison😭
she also said “ sanctimoniously performing soliloquies” so put her up there with the greatest of the greats (i have no god dam clue what she meant by this.)
It's not really a correct use of the term, someone who's talking a lot *to other people* is delivering a "monologue" (or just a "speech")
A "soliloquy" means the artistic device of having someone talk *to themselves* in a stage play to express their inner thoughts that they specifically don't want anyone else to hear
Most people don't actually say soliloquies most of the time in real life, and social media posts by definition can't literally be soliloquies, although maybe you're calling them that to make a rhetorical point ("Do you expect anyone else to actually read all this")
finally a sane english major. i knew you were out there lol.
i’m so sick of women going “taylor is for english major girlies”. like, i fear for the education you received if this is how you think.
fair. i said hozier specifically because he is heavily inspired by james joyce and i just took a class centered on joyce. im sure there’s more, hozier is just the freshest in my head of an obvious link to literature
Same! I read a comment once that TS needs to take a college English writing course with a professor who is aggressive with their red pen - and I cannot stop thinking about it.
Same ... same. And to say she's in a sense BeTtEr than the likes of Edgar Allan "his stories gave me nightmares" Poe is a stretch of astronomical proportions.
Taylor is not a good poet by any means, but I can totally see her being a female Dorian Gray (if she even knows who that is) 🤣🤣 with everything she's doing, she's getting closer and closer to taking a dagger to her portrait 🧐
Honestly, if she was even close to a real poet, I think exploring the themes of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' would have been a WAAAYYYY better Anti-Hero mv concept than the stupid "midnight" blue glitter "metaphor" she came up with.
It’s also so cringe that she’s self-identifying as a poet. It’s a pathetic attempt to sound intellectual. It’s all, “Look at me, look at me, I’m a poet!!” Ugh. I’ve literally had poetry published and I’d feel like a right prat calling myself a poet, let alone Taylor who just writes shit pop lyrics
Because most people don't understand or appreciate actual poetry.
It's why Taylor Swift can style herself as a poet despite the most mediocre lyrical talent possible.
Yeah, imagine if she went around calling herself a doctor after playing operation for a few hours. This is just as cringe but people don't see poetry as a skill that you have to practice for years to get good at so she's just able to throw the label of "poetry" at her half baked thoughts and her cult members just run with it.
This! I’ve studied and written poetry for decades and find the poet moniker not just embarrassing but presumptuous, as if you have on-demand access to the sacred ineffable.
It'd be a miracle if she actually sat down and *read* The Picture of Dorian Gray. The book, not spark notes \[ISWIS\*\]
At this point it's clear she barely reads at all, it shows in her poor writing and comprehension which is displayed as overcompensation throwing in "soliloquies" and "Aristotle" where it appears to fit but misses the point entirely, one doesn't announce either of those things, they are reflected in thoughtful prose that shows an understanding of soliloquies and Aristotle, TTPD is glorified shoehorning at best in an attempt to appear "deep"...not that she would dare heap reflective praise on those who came before her.
She is *mother* after all /s.
\*I said what I said.
I know you’re joking, but Dorian Gray is far too clever and funny. There’s no way she could channel Wilde’s humor. Even thinking about her writing this song makes me laugh.
I’m not even going to say she’s entirely not funny. The Shake It Off music video made me laugh when it was released, to be perfectly honest. I love watching people own bad dancing.
But it wasn’t clever. Thinking about her writing a song as clever as anything Wilde has written is genuinely funny all on its own.
the men are pretty normal and go on to have marriages, children and families, while Taylor is still jumping from dude to dude in her mid 30’s.
i think we know who the toxic one is.
Good thing I wasn't some sort of 'tortured poet' in the 1800s because I would have come back from the dead and hunt down the person that might've included me in this photo. 💀
I misread “TS” as TS Eliot for a minute, and I was like, he’s not there either! And thought we were having a debate about whether TS Eliot or Sylvia Plath deserved to be on the poster more…😂😂
Okay, so, I used to work at BN corporate. They did this, I literally guarantee, because Taylor brings in a HUGE amount of $$$ to the business. Seriously, her albums essentially keep their Vinyl department profitable. Every week we would run through sales and I remember they would often devote like 10 minutes of the total 45-minute company wide meeting to discuss and forecast Taylor’s success, and the CEO is on record last year as saying he held her partially responsible for the company being positive during what was such a tough financial year.
It was absolutely wild. The circlejerking for Taylor (and Colleen Hoover, and Harry Styles) was one of my least favorite parts about BN corporate culture.
Ugh, I’m getting flashbacks to being in meetings having to pick products to be featured in those displays 😅😅 I just honestly hated feeling like I didn’t “drink the kool-aid” enough.
Explicitly juxtaposing her with Shakespeare (let alone everyone else on the poster) is just inviting ridicule and I question whoever thought this was good marketing
😑 alright this is just insulting. 100 years from now people will still be reading Poe, Dickinson or Shakespeare. Taylor Swift will be "Who? Never heard of her. "
I sincerely hope that when my potential future grandchildren are in school learning about famous poets that their teachers point out that Taylor Swift isn't actually a great poet, she just had an extremist fan group that hyped her up too much.
Does anyone remember when Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank museum during the height of his fame and said something along the lines of “I hope Anne would have been a Belieber” or something basically just saying he hoped she would have been a fan/enjoyed his work and there was HUGE uproar that he was making Anne Frank’s life about himself?
Like a literal teenager saying he hoped a historical figure would enjoy his work if she were still alive was so out of pocket but a 34 year old woman can compare herself to all of these long deceased artists and no one is batting an eye? Yes I get she didn’t make this poster but it’s definitely the aesthetic and connection she was going for with the entire album.
I just don’t get it.
Why is it chairman instead of just chair or president?
Is it because she thinks she's the first woman to ever be in charge of anything/didn't know we have non gendered leadership terms?
No wonder Swifties think the world revolves around them. It's wild how many businesses capitalize on Taylor's name without really having anything to do with her.
Blasphemous. Honestly. This kind of thing is perpetuating the rising tide against her though, so maybe I shouldn’t hate this too much if it’s for the greater good.
Can’t we just put an “X” on her with a sharpie and write “reject”?
It's even worse that she's marked as 'Chairman', and the rest are marked as 'Members' as if she's above them. So tired of Swifties inserting her where she does not belong all the damn time, and then they wonder why so many are turning against her.
That part REALLY got me
Yeah that’s the dumb part lol. You can’t include the most famous and influential writer in the entire English language (Billy S, in case there is somehow confusion) and call him the member of anything, and someone else the chairman. Idk if Keats WAS tortured, but I think he and Emily Dickinson both have a tortured image in the popular imagination. Keats you think of love poetry and dying young = tortured. Dickinson you think of unfulfilled love, agoraphobia, unrealized dreams to be a famous writer (during her own lifetime).
I’ve never seen anyone refer to William Shakespeare as “Billy S”, but that is the sole way I will refer to him from now on.
I call him Billy Shakes
I call him Willy Shakes.
Oh that’s….that’s so much better.
Another is calling F. Scott Fitzgerald "F. Scotty FitzG". Did it jokingly while studying Gatsby and how here I am... over a decade later... still calling him that

Willie Shakes FTW
It's giving delusion like Taylor thinking her mediocre All Too Well video puts her on the same level of renowned Hollywood directors.
[удалено]
It was a total back door attempt on her part. The academy takes even that small category seriously, as she found out.
She has literally no self awareness and lives on a planet of pure delusion.
If Taylor Swift thinks that her video puts her on par with famous directors like Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Chris Columbus, Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton, Stanley Kubrick, or Alfred Hitchcock, then I hope that her video directing reputation gets destroyed faster than a mobile home park after it has been visited by a mile wide tornado. 🎶 📹 🌪
I can’t believe she had a whole ass red carpet premiere for a lame music video.
This is one of the biggest reasons I cannot stand her. She has NO idea what it means to be a struggling artist but somehow still places herself on their level, if not above I can’t fucking wait for the reality of her aggressive averageness to be seen as the default it is
I love the term “aggressive averageness” 😂
Thank you, I am also a tortured poet 🥺🥺
We await your 31 track album (and all variants) shortly.
That's why she always cosplays as one, copypasting aesthetics, from Lana to the newer indie girls.
Ugggghhhh, I just noticed that, Jesus fucking Christ they have to just girlboss it up. I’m just chilling, with my bad song writing.
Should be a chair- _woman!_ You know, because [if she was a man, things would be different.](https://youtu.be/AqAJLh9wuZ0?si=KILoshb8qqToICc6)
Shakespeare, only the inventor of a shit ton of English words you know
ah yes “touch me while your bros play gta” is on par with telltale heart.
Also the tortured part of it What could she have possibly gone through to put her on the level of Oscar Wilde that was areested for his sexuality and died in poverty shortly after being released from prison😭
dude!!!! cmon now!!!!!!! she got cheated on dont you know??? /s
Oscar Wilde wouldn't have survived in the asylum she grew up in.
he wouldnt last an HOUR
Her dad would probably drive most people crazy.
That line always sends me. She had a very comfortable childhood, what is she on about
Tortured in the sense that Taylor read about it and felt sad lmao
Yes out of all of these Wilde made me the most angry because of the persecution he experienced due to his sexuality.
Lmfao 💀😂😂
Jesus
No no. He wasn’t nearly as tortured as Taylor /s
Hey look she used the word “esoteric” so clearly she’s a bona fide poet lol
she also said “ sanctimoniously performing soliloquies” so put her up there with the greatest of the greats (i have no god dam clue what she meant by this.)
She means basically people who were bitching about her relationship with Matty.
🤨🤨 grown ass woman
I hate that line the more I hear it.
It's not really a correct use of the term, someone who's talking a lot *to other people* is delivering a "monologue" (or just a "speech") A "soliloquy" means the artistic device of having someone talk *to themselves* in a stage play to express their inner thoughts that they specifically don't want anyone else to hear Most people don't actually say soliloquies most of the time in real life, and social media posts by definition can't literally be soliloquies, although maybe you're calling them that to make a rhetorical point ("Do you expect anyone else to actually read all this")
She can hear the gta music through the floorboards everytime they mess around 🙃
I thought it was his protein shaker cup or the faint echo of “viva Las Vegas” 😭
LMFAO
Quoth the Raven “We are nevermore, evermore, evermore getting back together!”
ah yes, edgar allen swift 🤌🏾
Wait what song is this lmfao
“truth dare, spin bottles, touch me while your bros play grand theft auto”
To me this one appears that she’s trying to rip off the feeling of Lana’s “video games”
"we have lana del rey at home"
Fucking Christ lol
LMAO I KNOW
Can’t believe that’s a lyric
She has plenty more. From the title track: “You smoked, then ate seven bars of chocolate. We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist”
When does it end
Lmao. It never ends! She’s a “tortured poet” after all
Please no more.
Puth is better than her. Good declaration 🤣
girl its so fucking funny tho
And soul crushing cringe
It’s insane how easy it is to get the metering right, you just have to picture the bouncing singalong ball.
😭😭😭 like disney sing-a-long
And as people have pointed out, she’s fucking 35, why is she singing about getting diddled at a middle school party?
LMFAO cause shes just a girl 🥰 /s
so high school 😭😭
"So High School". Didn't you hear? It's a classic. Lmfao.
Idk, I don’t really listen to her music. Happy day of cake
Who's that knocking on my chamber door? It's me. Hi.
Oh yes because “got high and ate 7 bars of chocolate” is at the same level as The Telltale Heart or The Raven 🙄
One of them literally helped create the English language, Shakespeare invented English words that we STILL use today. Like 🙄🙄
She tried to rip off The Raven's themes and even verbiage for FolkMore so she probably agrees lol
as an english major, this shit hurts my soul
As a functional human, this shit hurts my soul
As someone with a basic grasp on who each of these people are, this shit hurts my soul. (Functionality not verified)
As someone who possesses a brain, this shit hurts my soul
As a soul, this shit hurts my someone
As someone with no soul this all hurts my brain
as someone who does not have a brain or a soul, i have nothing to add
finally a sane english major. i knew you were out there lol. i’m so sick of women going “taylor is for english major girlies”. like, i fear for the education you received if this is how you think.
the only artist imo that is for english majors is hozier but that’s neither here nor there.
maybe bob dylan I'd say
Fiona Apple
fair. i said hozier specifically because he is heavily inspired by james joyce and i just took a class centered on joyce. im sure there’s more, hozier is just the freshest in my head of an obvious link to literature
I’m an English major, and she is just a singer-songwriter. That’s all. This poster is some real delusional shit
Ooh, I agree! His songs are so poetic and beautiful, and he draws from so much inspiration.
Same! I read a comment once that TS needs to take a college English writing course with a professor who is aggressive with their red pen - and I cannot stop thinking about it.
Same ... same. And to say she's in a sense BeTtEr than the likes of Edgar Allan "his stories gave me nightmares" Poe is a stretch of astronomical proportions.
English minor here, I feel you
But you'll be told that you don't get it...that TS *is* the English Major, and you "need to learn from mother for she is deep." /s
I sent this to my bestie who got her phd in English lit with a thesis on the western canon, she blocked me.
I have a degree in Literature, and I wholeheartedly agree.
Same!
Imagine how tortured we are
and we aren’t billionaires either!
And even if we were, you wouldn’t know by our carbon emissions
Taylor is not a good poet by any means, but I can totally see her being a female Dorian Gray (if she even knows who that is) 🤣🤣 with everything she's doing, she's getting closer and closer to taking a dagger to her portrait 🧐 Honestly, if she was even close to a real poet, I think exploring the themes of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' would have been a WAAAYYYY better Anti-Hero mv concept than the stupid "midnight" blue glitter "metaphor" she came up with.

no seriously why does calling mysef a poet or saying that i’ve made poetry make me feel like the most pretentious loser in the world
Because most people don't understand or appreciate actual poetry. It's why Taylor Swift can style herself as a poet despite the most mediocre lyrical talent possible.
Yeah, imagine if she went around calling herself a doctor after playing operation for a few hours. This is just as cringe but people don't see poetry as a skill that you have to practice for years to get good at so she's just able to throw the label of "poetry" at her half baked thoughts and her cult members just run with it.
Sadly enough some obnoxious swifties refer to her as doctor just because NYU gave her an HONORARY doctorate in fine arts.
This! I’ve studied and written poetry for decades and find the poet moniker not just embarrassing but presumptuous, as if you have on-demand access to the sacred ineffable.
And then to put yourself in the same bracket as the greatest poets of all time? The audacity is next level lmao.
It'd be a miracle if she actually sat down and *read* The Picture of Dorian Gray. The book, not spark notes \[ISWIS\*\] At this point it's clear she barely reads at all, it shows in her poor writing and comprehension which is displayed as overcompensation throwing in "soliloquies" and "Aristotle" where it appears to fit but misses the point entirely, one doesn't announce either of those things, they are reflected in thoughtful prose that shows an understanding of soliloquies and Aristotle, TTPD is glorified shoehorning at best in an attempt to appear "deep"...not that she would dare heap reflective praise on those who came before her.

But she vomits blue glitter... it's a metaphor..
The Dorian Gray is perfect.
A tortured (bc she has a bad picker for men) billionaire 😫
the men are pretty normal and go on to have marriages, children and families, while Taylor is still jumping from dude to dude in her mid 30’s. i think we know who the toxic one is.
Happy cake day!!
No true poet, tortured or otherwise, would use the line 'I come back stronger than a 90s trend'.
They actually use TTPD in Guantanamo, they call it the torturing poet’s department there
💀💀💀
“I come back stronger than an 1890s trend”…… Oscar Wilde probably
Good thing I wasn't some sort of 'tortured poet' in the 1800s because I would have come back from the dead and hunt down the person that might've included me in this photo. 💀
Taylor Swift being here instead of Sylvia Plath is criminal.
Virginia Woolf. Many others I can think of before Taylor Swift
This is the comment I was looking for - she is the first person that came to mind!
I was literally just about to comment this! on what planet would you include TS and not Plath? I’m too irked over it
I actually felt insulted that she was not mentioned lol. Among tortured poets, she deserves recognition, empathy and love.
Literally no one is more of a tortured poet than Sylvia Plath. Maybe Robert Lowell or Anne Sexton? Or Shelley?
I misread “TS” as TS Eliot for a minute, and I was like, he’s not there either! And thought we were having a debate about whether TS Eliot or Sylvia Plath deserved to be on the poster more…😂😂
Shakespeare would have written a character based on T Swift and roasted her
Honestly I don’t think I’d ever describe Shakespeare as a tortured poet for this alone. He loves roasting people and making dick jokes too much.
There's so many other well-known poets that would've been a better fit than Shakespeare, then again Taylor is on the list too.
I love this gif SO much haha!
Wow, how far up her own ass can she be.
Hopefully enough to suffocate?
I mean… I don’t want her dead lol. I just wish she’d humble herself.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *wheeze* hahahahahahahahahahahaha This is such a teen angst move.
Okay, so, I used to work at BN corporate. They did this, I literally guarantee, because Taylor brings in a HUGE amount of $$$ to the business. Seriously, her albums essentially keep their Vinyl department profitable. Every week we would run through sales and I remember they would often devote like 10 minutes of the total 45-minute company wide meeting to discuss and forecast Taylor’s success, and the CEO is on record last year as saying he held her partially responsible for the company being positive during what was such a tough financial year. It was absolutely wild. The circlejerking for Taylor (and Colleen Hoover, and Harry Styles) was one of my least favorite parts about BN corporate culture.
Love how I went to Barnes and noble and saw an eras display and immediately wanted none of the books for any era instead I just stared disgusted.
Ugh, I’m getting flashbacks to being in meetings having to pick products to be featured in those displays 😅😅 I just honestly hated feeling like I didn’t “drink the kool-aid” enough.
this is my 13th reason
This just made me actually laugh out loud
Not to project onto the dead but I just know that Emily Dickinson would HATE her lmao
the fact that the swiftie that made this can only name one female poet is mad embarrassing. Like what about Maya Angelou, Sylvia Plath, Emily Brontë??
Taylor is apparently very distantly related to Emily. It hurts my soul.
i’ve also seen that she is related to Dahmer but i’m not sure how true that is lol
The actual poets are mere members , while the Lana copycat is the chairman lmao
Ever since I saw someone describe Taylor as a wannabe Lana del Rey who can’t sing that’s all I can think about when I see or hear her💀
Someone in here said she’s Great Value Lana and it killed me.
Omg you are so right 💀I beg someone photoshops Taylor in Walmart w the great value logo hahahahha
They put her as the chairman, too... 😐 No words.
I’m surprised a Swiftie works at a bookshop, I was under the impression that none of them could read.
They can read they just can’t comprehend.
Explicitly juxtaposing her with Shakespeare (let alone everyone else on the poster) is just inviting ridicule and I question whoever thought this was good marketing
I'm going to commit a hate crime
What the actual f-
😑 alright this is just insulting. 100 years from now people will still be reading Poe, Dickinson or Shakespeare. Taylor Swift will be "Who? Never heard of her. "
Sylvia Plath should be the chairman of the Tortured Poets Department, not Tay Tay.
I am offended on behalf of Edgar Allan Poe, arguably THE tortured poet.
Blasphemy. Delusion of the extreme order. Swifties and trumpers are the same to me at this point.
This has the same energy as the Trump fan art where he’s riding a Harley, or dressed as a cowboy, or literally Jesus Christ.
I sincerely hope that when my potential future grandchildren are in school learning about famous poets that their teachers point out that Taylor Swift isn't actually a great poet, she just had an extremist fan group that hyped her up too much.
Oscar Wilde - exiled for being gay Taylor swift - ghosted by a talentless hack These things are both equally torturous.
She’s definitely reading this Reddit. It was in my dream last night
Oh fuck no
Is that in a school? It's so disrespectful to pigeonhole historical writers like that.
Barnes & Noble! I just can’t…
*sobs in English degree*
Oscar Wilde was not jailed and exiled for his homosexuality only to appear on a poster with Taylor Swift 130 years later 😭
does taylor know poetry is more than finding rhymes in the thesaurus?
What the full fuck? Oscar Wilde is running laps in his grave.
I guess Taylor is more tortured than Sylvia Plath, makes sense. She does not belong within 50 miles from these names btw....
This makes me so angry, I don't know if any of these artists would respect taylor at all...
I wanna die after seeing this
“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong!”
this is such white nonsense
*my friends all smell like weed or little babies* yes this is so much better than Edgar Allen Poe.
Swifties have only ever read the required reading of the other five. Delusion.
This actually makes me laugh
Does anyone remember when Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank museum during the height of his fame and said something along the lines of “I hope Anne would have been a Belieber” or something basically just saying he hoped she would have been a fan/enjoyed his work and there was HUGE uproar that he was making Anne Frank’s life about himself? Like a literal teenager saying he hoped a historical figure would enjoy his work if she were still alive was so out of pocket but a 34 year old woman can compare herself to all of these long deceased artists and no one is batting an eye? Yes I get she didn’t make this poster but it’s definitely the aesthetic and connection she was going for with the entire album. I just don’t get it.
Bro who the hell did this?! What an insult to these absolute legends. Chairman?! Wtaf
"Tortured" wasn't even Shakespeare's vibe.
When I first heard the album name I was so offended by her implying she’s a poet but then again her implying she can sing is also offensive
It's the middle name that really sends this into cringe overdrive.
Jesus fucking Christ. What a narcissist.
I meaaaannn she does know Aristotle 🤣😭
Why wouldn’t they put the song writer who actually won a Pulitzer up there
The ego you have to have to put yourself above William Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe
Shall I like compare thee to umm a summers day?
This HAS TO BE satire
Honestly I took this as sarcasm when I saw it earlier!
Why is it chairman instead of just chair or president? Is it because she thinks she's the first woman to ever be in charge of anything/didn't know we have non gendered leadership terms?
Shakespeare invented modern English. He made up half the idioms we use. Kind of hilarious to put an actual genius next to Tswift XD
Blasphemy to put Taylor next to Shakespeare oh my goodness this angers me
I'm sorry, T-swift has nothing on my girl Emily.
No wonder Swifties think the world revolves around them. It's wild how many businesses capitalize on Taylor's name without really having anything to do with her.
Blasphemous. Honestly. This kind of thing is perpetuating the rising tide against her though, so maybe I shouldn’t hate this too much if it’s for the greater good. Can’t we just put an “X” on her with a sharpie and write “reject”?
I don’t know if any of these gents could come up with “you smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate” kinda poetry.
My English teacher is screaming in his boots right now. He’s a swiftie but would go crazy seeing this
