Forgive Me For Saying
Please disregard what I'm
About to say
Paralipsis got in the way
Not to mention
The following slip
I hardly noticed
Your tattooed hip
Or the stud protruding
From your lower lip
She who tries
To blend in disguise
Rarely wears orange
Mascared eyes
So I'd advise
Your chances of employment
(here's a surprise)
are fairly limited
with the FBI
