minus-squareLena@gregtech.eulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoWhy is “and an attitude” and “and that nasty” crossed out?
minus-squareapftwb@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·2 months agoI think it just doesn’t flow with the rest of the poem. We currently have a president with an attitude and its not great. Also “that nasty hospital food” tonally just don’t feel like it fits IMO.
