Gene Simmons is Not the next John Donne

Despite popular opinion, I'm sure. After all, Gene's brilliance as a writer cannot be denied from his poetic phrases such as "I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day" or or course "You got, got nothin' to lose" repeated 15 times. Unfortunately for Gene, his talented poetry has gone neglected for years in favor of his television skills, so I wanted to take this moment and share with you some snippets of verse from his 2004 solo album titled (not family friendly) Asshole. Surprisingly the title songs chorus is not singable at home, but the verses are impressive to say the least. Let's take a look at them together:

"You think that you're so cool
That you're nobody's fool
But you've got a personality (Yeah)
Just like a bucket full of pee"

and the second verse:

"You know you've got no shame
And you've got such a stupid name
And one day you'll finally shut your trap
'Cause you're the cream of the crap"

Wow. Speechless. I can't wait until Penguin Classics releases a version for coffee table reading. He might be the worlds next Poet Laureate.
