Around the World

I’m going on a trip around the world
Starting with the United States
My first stop is in Idaho to eat a couple potatoes
Then the wind in Chicago will blow my umbrella away
Soon I will reach New York where I will swear and carry a gun
Then down to Washington, D.C. to recieve some illegitemate funding
Which I will give to old people in Florida
After a few racial slurs in Missisippi
And some peaches in Georgia
I take a pit stop in San Francisco to get AIDS
Then go to Los Angeles to meet celebraties
Then the international travel starts
First I will get diahrrea in Mexico
Then do some cocaine in Columbia
I will take all my clothes off in the deep dark Amazon
Then eat my friends in the Peruvian Andes
Then I go north to smoke some hash in Jamaica
And east to equatorial Africa for some malaria
I will starve almost to death in Ethiopia
Then go to Egypt to walk funny
I will eat pasta as I go up through Italy
And then get in a drunken fistfight in Ireland
In Britain I will learn to be polite
Then go to France to practice being rude
In Norway I will ski
And my family will be executed in the Balkans
When I get to Russia I will spend all my money on Vodka
Then strike oil in Saudi Arabia and keep it to myself
I will lose my elbow room in India as I pray to 72 different gods
And be tight-packed again in China where I will be very short
Down in Australia I will wrestle alligators
And way up north I will build home electronics in Japan
When I get to Alaska I will pine for gold
Then through Canada to say "Ey" after every sentence
And finally back down to Seattle
Where I will drink coffee while stuck in traffic in the rain.
What a pointless trip.

New special! Bake two steaks and get one quasi-dimension at half price! While supplies last!
