Double Down Druthers

Indolence and procrastination took me by the hand And standing there I didn't care for anything too grand I wanted to sit back and rest but couldn't find the heart So I stood there contemplating why I'd ever thought to start Insolence and fascination stole me from that pair I stuck my tongue out at them both They really didn't care But I watched the way they didn't move a single caring bit And wondered at their attitude of condescending wit Innocence and reservation rescued me from falling Into depths of depravation from spell inspired reviling I couldn't see the wrongs they'd tried and didn't want to chance Another couple stopping by to swirl me in a dance Inference and imprecation walked right by and laughed I chased them down in indignation for who were they to know Deduced at once and scorned as much as any willing fool I smoldered at the reference to being a chooch shadrool
