RIP Oderus Urungus!

I wrote this poem about a month or two ago and GWAR frontman Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus) died a couple days ago. I thought I would post the poem in memory of him. It's silly and short, but it's something...

LISTENING TO GWAR

by matt burns

I remember listening to GWAR in college

I was blasting them loud

In my disc man

I walked into the lecture hall

And a girl heard it

She asked

“Are you listening to GWAR?”

I told her yes

I thought I had a friend

I thought I finally did fit in somewhere

But then the next time I had class there

She didn’t say anything

And that was that

She never talked to me again
