| Ryan Lochte explains how a Trojan wall ran into his chariot. |
Do you believe you deserve your leisure, drunk spraddle-legged
boy? Did you earn it under the walls of Troy?
You boast that laurel wreathes your brow, but neglect to mention
windblown leaves are piled high
on the juncture of your thighs. Well, if one spends enough time outdoors,
plant life isn’t hard to come by.
