Thing-fish：
Once upon a time, musta been 'round october, few years back, in
one o' dose top secret lab-motories de gubbnint keep stashed
away underneath virginia, an evil prince, occasion'ly employed
as a p
Ime theatrical criticizer set to woikin' on a plot fo de
systematic genocidical remove'lance of all unwanted
highly-rhythmic individj'lls an' sissy-boys!
De cocksucker done whiffed up a secret potium... an' right 'long
wid it, de atrocious idea dat what he been boilin' up down
deahhhh jes' mights be de final solutium to de white main's
'boidennn'
Yo' acquire my drift...
Well, he were sure he had a good thing goin'... but, dere was
always de possobility dat somethin' might fuck up, so, he
planned to have a little test, jes' to check it all out befo' he
dump't it
E wattuh supply.
Sho'tly denafter, wit high-level gubnint co-robberatium, he
arranged to have a good-will visit to san quentim, 'long wit
some country-westin mu- zishnin's, 'n sprinkle a little bit of
it on some
E boys in deahhh (since dey done used a few of 'em befo' when
dey was messin' wit de zyph'liss).
So, heah dey come wit de potium, dump'nit all in de mash
potatoes!
Den dey wen' up to de warden's office fo' some hot toddy,
watchin' a little football while dey's waitin' to see what gone
happen!
Fact o' de matter were： nothin' happened, so dey went off'n
dribbled it in a special shipnint of galoot co-log-nuh dat went
out 'bouts november!
Next thing y'know, fagnits be droppin' off like flies...'long
wit a large number of severely-tanned individj'lls, pre-zumnably
of hay'chen extrakment!
But not de boys in de rest home! oh no! mixin' de shit wit de
mash potatoes done smoothed it out a little, so's it wouldn't
kill yo' ass, but, it sho' would make y'ugly! 'n ef y'was
already ugly
D make yo ass mean 'n ugly...'n ef you was already mean 'n ugly,
it'd turn ya into a strange, unknown kreetchuh, never befo' seen
on broadway!^lthass right! it'd turn ya' into a 'mammy nun'! hea
E a potato...lips like a duck...big ol' hands, puffin' up! big
ones! science! me-jev'l re-lij-mus costumery all over yo' body!
yow! oh yeah! mmmm-hmmm!
