Poetry On Odyssey: Shirtless

Nothing gold can stay, unless if you stay out in the sun too long — then you get a nice tan.

Poetry On Odyssey: Shirtless
Embassy of Russia / Twitter

Everyone likes going on summer vacation

Including even the leader of the Russian nation

When not bombing the Caucasus or conducting illegal invasions

Vladimir Putin poses shirtless for every occasion

Laying back in the sun, decked out in sunglasses

He sits back and watches as the time passes

Maybe he thinks his body will pick up all the lasses

Or maybe he's letting loose, and passing lots of gasses

But relaxation isn't the only thing he's fond of

Still wearing his shades, he looks kinda like a Russian Bono

He casts out his fishing rod into a big pond

And cooks it up and eats it as dusk goes to dawn

Putin is no stranger to bearing his chest

He likes to go shirtless because he thinks he's the best

In 2009, he rode a horse and became the subject of internet jest

Putin is pretty pale, he must be wearing 50 SPF!

But Putin isn't the only right-wing political figure

Who's fond of disrobing and posing for pictures

Alex Jones takes his shirt off when talking about Illuminati killers

And also when he's about to chow down and eat dinner

Alex Jones takes his shirt off even more than Vlad!

Even though his upper body looks very, very bad

When pushing quack medical supplements like they're the latest fad

Alex Jones poses for photos, that can only be described as - Sad!

Recently his ex-wife said in a deposition

Alex Jones takes his shirt off even during counseling sessions!

It seems as if Jones has no inhibitions

When engaging in upper-body expositions

Alex Jones even takes his shirt off on-air

Leaving his chest completely bare

He talks about how Building 7 disappeared into thin air

Even though no planes hit over there!

One must wonder why people of right-wing pedigree

Feel the need to display in this way their own masculinity

Maybe they have their own issues; they're self-conscious and compensating

Whatever it is, it's really, really, really embarrassing

Dear reader, you've seen how macho Putin and Alex Jones are

But what you're about to see next will leave you scarred

The next picture in this poem should be against the law

It's far more disturbing than anything you've seen so far

This next picture is a massive error

It reflects badly on the entire human species - all of us together

In the primordial contest of "Whose chest is barer?"

No one is worse than Geraldo Rivera!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
