Dry Run
What could have happened?
They wondered and said
What could have happened
Inside of his head?
I’ll tell you what I think
The guy flipped his lid
Must have been on the brink
To do what he did
But the guy seemed so happy
I know what you mean
Guess things were crappy
Or so it would seem
In such circumstances
We’re all lost for words
The guy took his chances
And he’s for the birds
Could anyone have guessed?
They all ponder now
The poor guy obsessed
Could have helped him somehow?
I see what you mean
He was obviously drawn
Surely someone had seen
The signs coming on?
I suppose in the end
Not much could be done
Like this poem that I’ve penned
Another dry run!
