Tell it straight — Typewriter Manuscript Poetry T-Shirt
The eyebrow usually arrives before the explanation. This Filthy Poet poem lets an honest face and a mouth without much filter call the bollocks as they see it.
About this item
The poem
I've got no poker face and fuck-all filter too,
So if you're talking bollocks,
my expression tells on you.
I'll try to look polite while you're spouting absolute shit,
But one eyebrow starts twitching
and that's usually fucking it.
My face says, "Are you serious?" before I make a sound,
Then my mouth gets involved and says what's obvious all round.
I've got opinions plenty
and I'm rarely short of nerve,
If your logic's fucking nonsense, you'll get the look you deserve.
I could sugar-coat the truth,
but I'm too old for all that crap,
I'd rather tell it straight
than sit there nodding like a prat.
Sarcastic? Fucking obviously.
Opinionated? That's just fine,
I'm not getting any sweeter
- and that suits me fucking fine.

What garment-dyed means
The tee is coloured after it has been sewn. Pigment-dyed shades have a softer, weathered finish; other shades have a more even appearance. Small differences in shade are part of garment dyeing.
Before your first wear
Wash separately in cold water. Pigment-dyed colours can release loose pigment, even after the first wash, and may stain lighter items.
Then wash with similar colours. If colour is still releasing, keep washing separately.
| Wash | Turn inside out. Machine wash cold, maximum 30°C, with similar colours. |
|---|---|
| Dry | Air dry where possible, or tumble dry on low heat. |
| The print | Never iron directly over the printed design. |
| Avoid | Bleach and dry cleaning. |
Always follow the care label supplied with your tee.
