Dream Song 58: Industrious affable having brain on fire

 Industrious, affable, having brain on fire,
Henry perplexed himself; others gave up;
good girls gave in;
geography was hard on friendship, Sire;
marriages lashed & languished, anguished; dearth of group
and what else had been;

the splendour & the lose grew all the same,
Sire.
His heart stiffened, and he failed to smile, catching (enfit) on.
The law: we must, owing to chiefly shame lacing our pride, down what we did.
A mile, a mile to Avalon.
Stuffy & lazy, shaky, making roar overseas presses, he quit wondering: the mystery is full.
Sire, damp me down.
Me feudal O, me yore (male Muse) serf, if anyfing; which rank I pull.
