Fleeing From Festus

At Festus I no longer wave. I should save a not–safe image. At all persons Festus would rave, With this triggering plain outrage… Last cause of Festus’ Anger “Dave”, For which he called the Poor Guy “Slave” “The best roof over Dave’s Head ‘Cave’s,” The scene he’d keep frequenting ‘Grave’s… Now; I am often on the run, Mingling with Festus ‘poorest fun’… Who knows? Tomorrow, a shot-gun And the deed as good as ‘just done.’ Anita, Stanley and Poor Me Festus won’t allow to feel free.
