flashback, circa 1984
\neveryone!
\nwanted to be Marty McFly
\nnot me ya know
\nI wanted to be Snake Eyes
\nfrom G.I. Joe
\nnot the 12″ pose-able play with my sister’s Barbie doll
\nbut the 6″ peg foot action figure
\nI wanted to sit in the F14
\nshoot down Cobra
\nwhile breaking the sound barrier
\nthen land safely at sea
\non that big ass aircraft carrier
\nbut my dad spent all our money on beer
\nand mom worked two jobs just to pay the rent
\nI never got any good toys
\njust those gay ass Roy Rogers lunch boxes
\nand the Play Doh Barber Shop
\nnot to mention I was the only kid
\nin school who couldn’t afford a pair of wranglers
\nit’s no damn wonder
\neveryone always laughed at me
\nno one would laugh if I was Snake Eyes though
\nand I had a M16 and a few hand grenades
\nyeah Joseph’s spoken
\nand he isn’t a happy fucking camper<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
