8. One shark said to the
other when eating a clown
fish: this tastes funny.
The bartender said
to the neutron, “For you, sir,
there will be no charge.”
A question for you:
Where does Washington keep his
armies? His sleevies.
An octopus went
off to war. It’s a good thing
that he was well-armed.
A wise man once asked,
“Why, pray tell, is the sand wet?”
Because the sea weed.

10. I am turrets and a-a-awesome
I wonder were Ross went
I hear a ghost beside me talking but can’t make out what it says
I see dead people (Ross)
I want to eat water
I am turrets and a-a-awesome
I pretend I am a T-Rex
I feel Ross next to me
I touch Ross’s dead body
I worry about Meagan Fox dying
I cry when I think of dead puppies
I am turrets and a-a-awesome
I understand Austin can’t take the funk
I say Ross killed himself
I dream about Ross and I together someday
I try to watch Ross in his sleep
I hope Ross never dies Oh Wait....
I am turrets and a-a-awesome

The atmosphere surrounds all things I do
It surrounds me in happiness all day
Happiness that pulls me into things I love
I love all things around me every day
Every day is a new day for me
Days come 365 times a year
365 times to start new
New things to do and love doing all day
All day is a chance to make something happen
Chances that can make your life a better life
Better lives that lead to better relationships
Relationships that can last for a lifetime
A lifetime that can last you forever

16. My swag to good for you
You are jealous of my swag
Swag is the definition of Josh Sharp
Winners are swag filled gorillas
Anti swag monkeys are stupid
Go home anti swag noobs
Today is national swag day
On my roof because Im so swag-filled
Good day to you anti swagger
Off you go
Off you go
Don’t come back unless you’re swag filled
Finish your food so you can get swag
On your face I will stuff your food
Rocks will go down your throat anti swag monkey
You suck
Order me food
Unless you are an anti swag monk
