Premium Member I Bred a Rose
I bred a rose of color rare And gave it to my lady fair. She looked at it disdainfully Then, laughing, tossed it back to me. No man, she said, her heart would hold Lest he applied for it with gold.

I'M Justin Bred, Not Just Inbred
When I tell people that my name is Justin Bred, they think that I'm a hick with no brain in my head. Everybody who I know thinks that I'm married to my sister.
