Maybe just bad taste;
the half-crazed couch jumping
is "Risky Business."


Poor Katie Holmes....too naive to know better....

Is risky business
one where shareholders get burned
and bosses get fat?

And bosses get fat
except in parts of Asia
where they eat fat cats

Nice for silver-fish.

In the froth and foam
I see teeth of a mad dog -
Syrius perhaps.

Syrius perhaps
will show his teeth soon, and loll
his tongue at the moon.

Looking at the moon,
could drive you stark raving mad,
you could start howling.
