After weeks of solidly sensible stanza, will our hosts rise to the bait and write a silly one? The answer is: No. No. Yes. To find out what that means, you’ll just have to listen. BEN The Best Deal I got the Best Deal And three TVs in my room I like to use the the phone But no one seems to be home I got the Best Deal but Doing nothing I’d have more These white trash are just like me But they’re poor I got the Best Deal But that bum has more than me 8 billion dollars more And he sleeps there for free I got the Best Deal but They won’t let me lock the door I leave things as I want them But they clean them off the floor My wife has her own room So I can be alone With Mcdonalds for dinner In my empty white home MATT Big Money You’re always unbearable when I’m not in the mood And vice versa And in fact, of course — everything is, I’m being idiotic. Moods are stupid. A rapid list of what’s wrong what’s not happening All coinciding at the same instance: right now. "Just get over it," I think “Have a bath, and get over it” I help with the main thing, Then I say “Have a bath” And walk away, downstairs Back to my book. As I begin to read, My mind is distracted That in fifty years I hope I’ll get to say: "Let me be devoted, a little while longer Yours is the only love I've ever truly wanted” I stop. Because I’ll never know when it’ll all end I should go and say that to you now. CHARLIE Big Money I got a big pot o’ honey They call me big money I’m a storage hunter With all them other munters But no one knows the real me They just go off a what they see Big money, big funny, big dummy Got a pot full of fam, pot full of friends They’ll be there till the endz My pots full of life, pots full of strife Pots full of love from above and beyond The millis don’t make me nor will they take me Big money just ain’t me And given that Matt requested Trump translation of Ben’s piece, here’s the the first line in Trump speak: This is a very good looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell I'm talking to... I got the best deal. My hands can hit a golf ball 285 yards. (Courtesy of http://www.donaldtrumptranslator.com/)
