Botoxication

God, look at these wrinkles
I look so old and tired
What?
I can take this syringe full of
(Botulism Toxin™)
Shove it under my skin?
Ow! Wow!
My face looks so smooth and young!

Pheww!  My underarms stink
I smell like an old cheese
Hmmm.
I can take this syringe full of
(Botulism Toxin™)
Shoot it into my armpit?
Eee!  Whee!
I smell 15% better!

Damn, my brain gets on my nerves
It never lets up
Hey!
I can take this syringe full of
(Botulism Toxin™)
Inject it up into my cortex?
Urgh!  Rurrgh!
