Poem
5/16/22 Here let me paint you a drawing My skin crawling Something stirring and calling As the leaves begin falling It's appalling That people are always squabbling And gossiping Yet another mauling It's no longer enthralling The temperature of the water freezing or scalding People aging, greying and balding This process has no halting Most spills their guts like a geyser Life's a , but I like her With every fiber Many think they're the , but they need a diaper I got the job done with or without a screwdriver Close and far from barbwire While occasionally sipping hard cider Or Budweiser I'm no liar Or one to preach to the choir Nearby a campfire And 4 car tires I stood with a Rottweiler Feeling lazy or hyper Harmless like a Sandpiper Damgerous like a Pit Viper Harmless like all these ass wipers Dangerous like a sniper Harmless like a Striper Dangerous like a Tiger Harmless like the town crier Dangerous like a Black Widow or Red-Back spider Harmless like always being nicer Dangerous like the edge of a pizza slicer It's time for the next shock Most thought they could fix it with a pep talk Meanwhile close by flew a red hawk Before I decided to jet off Dealt with pests lots, put them in a headlock Then they came to a dead stop Nearby the bedrock It's revolting Far too much overindulging And information withholding Dangerous like exposure to molding In all directions it's pulling I'm still mulling Meanwhile they continue at lulling So that they are the ones controlling In pitch blackness Full of sadness Reaching a state of madness The pattern becoming erratic It's nearly always tragic With endless havoc I almost had it And went bat But I partook in Black Magic In a basement as well as an attic In the end the outcome was anti-climactic
