Sexy Pomes by Benjamin Drevlow

Sexy Pome #2

To get me in trouble, my older brother used to tell me that my mother really liked her hair clip and I should compliment her on it.

Except he called it a hairy clip.

And he said it with a weird accent.

He said the secret to getting the right accent was rolling my tongue to touch the top of my teeth.

It came out like this: Ah wully like your hairy clit, Ma.

Oh thank you. I really like it, too.

My brother doubled over.

What’s so funny?

It only took me years to figure it out.

I don’t think my mother ever did.

A few years later my brother finally broke down and ate a shotgun blast for his 18th birthday.

Try explaining that to your mother while biting your tongue.

Today I walk by a girl whose jogging pants say quit staring at my dick across her crotch and it takes me a minute to realize it’s social commentary and here I am staring, so yes, I really am part of the problem.

Just imagine for a moment how sexy it must be to be a comptroller.
