Poem
Sisyphus had Syphilis which had traveled to his brain a man of pleasure once but now he was stuck on a slope got no spouse no kids to help not even a demimondaine had he been lucid he’d abandoned his toil or used a rope tied fast to the mountain peak but failed and tried in vain could have down with magic fruit or used a whiff of dope he had serious attachment issues in his case with a stone had used a self help guide which requested him to let loose counsellors were scarce in ancient times so he asked a crone of doubtful provenance yet her advice was very much obtuse bury a crow at midnight’s peak she posited but tie it to a bone but as the legend goes he had no string so he had an excuse boulder line syndrome one would say in current modern times anxiety anger panic attacks and obsessive compulsive traits could have done with cognitive therapy to overcome his climbs he would not surrender though to failure and heavy weights repeat attempts of treating madness had left him in dire straits had post traumatic stress that mounted up in repetitive confines his folks had told him ever so kind to not give up the challenge to be resilient in face of hardship or defeat and when troubled unless you stand firm and accept your task life will take revenge obedient as he was made to be his senseless efforts he redoubled was adamant that it was his pursuit to lift rocks to build a henge his venereal illness helped in a strange way to not feel too befuddled a place of worship on a plateau could not be erected in one session he knew it might take a lifetime of labour effort and determination foundations are the basis and he continued with undeterred passion his fellows simply watched astonished with his tolerance for frustration they thought we knew all along that lewd hookers left quite an impression and intercourse if unprotected facilitates bedlam insanity and degeneration 05th July 2020
