His poetry is most replete,
With lines that really bear repeat,
But one stands our that's most elite.
"there is some shit I will not eat"
While some may think it indiscrete
To speak of that which we excrete,
As for myself, I'll not retreat.
I think the line is bloody neat.
It's neither macho nor effete.
It speaks to victory not defeat.

But let us never risk deceit,
And try to set it in concrete,
For his command to be complete,
This implication we must meet.
THERE IS SOME SHIT THAT I WILL EAT
