Page 237. I didn't even read the whole thing, I just saw the poem splatted into the middle of an essay and read the first two lines. I think the essay is about an advertisement or something, but here's the poem. (I think it's a poem anyway.)
My butt is big
And round like the letter C
And ten thousand lunges
Have made it rounder
But not smaller
And that's just fine.
It's a space heater
For my side of the bed
It's my ambassador
To those who walk behind me
It's a border collie
That herds skinny women
Away from the best deals
At clothing sales.
My butt is big
And that's just fine
And those who might scorn it
Are invited to kiss it.
Just do it.
"It has t be said: The ad kicks ass."
This honestly made me lmao (laugh my ass of, pardon the pun.) For one thing, it is a horrible poem (in my opinion), but congrats to whomever wrote it. I am proud of them for picking out the good things in having a big butt. I don't think I've honestly read anything like this in an academic book, but we all know one time or another, you're going to slip through a book and just land on the one page with something that just brightens your day. A poem about someone who thinks their butt is big. For all we know, the person may not even have a big butt, maybe they're self conscious, which is why they told people who "scorn it" to kiss it. Anyway, I have to say this poem really did put me in a better mood, and I'm sure the rest of my evening will reflect on it. That's all I have to say about that. Off to my supper date! Hope whoever reads this enjoyed the poem (?) as much as I did!
