Wise Words

We Real Cool.
We left school.

We Lurk late.
We strike straight.

We sing sin.
We thin gin.

We jazz June.
We die soon.

Gwendolyn Brooks

Marge: Homer!
Homer (still on phone): Sorry Moe, I have to go, my damn weiner kids are listening.
Bart and Lisa: We're not weiners!
Homer: Then why are you wearing those stupid uniforms?
Bart and Lisa: They made us.
Homer: Ohh... 'They made us...' ...That's loser talk! You should be more like my team...the future league champions of the world!
