Beastly Burdens In My Life

Beastly burdens of life Millstones round my neck Not that I malign my wife For in my eyes beastly burdens of life emulate a sneaking snake Writhing on the hard road Through life I travel On my head perching an abnormal load Of which I never cease to marvel Although pressure my neck oppresses Enjoying a free ride As twinges of pain pressure stresses With unabashed pride Driven to extremes That hurt, hurt and hurt So sharply they satirize dames To whom sweet nothings I blurt Not that to me it matters or flatters Whether dames don long or short In gild letters that decry fetters As they snort Raising my ire With candour Warmed on a cold night by the fire Fanned by the parallax of pain odour A neurotransmitter smells Telling me I’m lying When burden spells and scales Confirm I’m sighing and flying Despite averse appearances That on the grapevine seem to glorify and aggrandize gossip Inferences on my circumstances Which in a vacuum peep, weep and fall asleep.
