cobain haiku

Nirvana broke up
Kurt's bass player and drummer
Work at McDonald's

I wonder if Hole
Was named after the cavern
Kurt blew through his head?'

Musical genius?
Voice of a generation?
Or dead blond asshole?

The world will miss him
The world will mourn Kurt Cobain
The world is stupid

He played his guitar
Sang of alienation
Wish I'd shot him first

A sensitive guy
Wore dresses, asked to be raped
Worms crawl in his ass

How many Cobains
Must die to end the madness?
At least two more, right?

Courtney's such a bitch
She won't share her heroin
Junkie brains go SPLAT!

Grunge king hates his life
Frances Bean's dad goes bye-bye
12-gauge in the mouth

Call this nirvana?
Psycho wife, screaming daughter
Give me hell instead

I'm always depressed
I play depressing music
Guess I'll kill myself

Smells like teen spirit?
No, smells like a dead body
Entertain us NOW

Boo-hoo, Kurt is dead
Let's hope Gen X follows suit
Or at least Miss Love

Dead junkie rock star
Mistaken as a poet
By youthful retards

"I'm not gonna crack"
Sang Cobain in "Lithium"
Guess what? Cobain cracked

Been dead for a year
Don't miss Seattle at all
Stomach feels better
