Not Ok Cupid<\/h1>\n

by Ivan Jenson<\/p>\n

Let me be frank
\nthough it might not
\nmake much sense
\nbut if Frankenstein
\nhad his bride
\nand Dracula
\nscored with
\nbad teeth
\nand the Wolfman
\nwas considered
\na sexy beast
\nand you know
\nwhat they say
\nabout Big Foot
\nthen why do I have
\nto pay the Vincent Price
\nand slink around
\nignored
\nlike
\na hyper Igor
\non a Monster drink?
\nPlease explain,
\ndoes a guy have to
\nget a hunchback
\nto get a dame?<\/p>\n
