I decided to electrify my skin
For a sleazy meme, ‘spectacular’ is key
With a glowing epidermis, I could win
Unimaginable followers, for free
But the scintillating splendour of the show
Shorted every safety circuit on the board
And as twenty thousand volts began to flow
I was guaranteed an idiot award
Taking selfies of my body as it burned
My suspicions were aroused that maybe now
It was time to be a smidgen more concerned
What my medical insurance would allow
To be viral, it was worth it that they laughed
At my seventh major skin and muscle graft
