Gangly Ghosts
Gangly ghosts galumphing in our lives
Gamble
With outstretched knives and chives
Fumble and mumble
Encouraging us crates of lager to quaff and drink
Tomes of *********** for our eyes to dabble
Contaminated thoughts for us to think and slink
Trouble and rabble to double in the stable
Life we feed, mislead, lead and weed
As mistakes upon mistakes we apply, satisfy, supply and multiply
In our Creed
We modify and codify
Our liver cooking in an overdose of alcohol
Our lung choking and dying with nicotine
Our wellness and health we overhaul and stall
As debauchery and dissipation we redefine in a can of worms dustbin
In our lifestyle given to extravagance and waste
Dwindle, dwindle and dwindle
Devouring vats of sin in a haste
As the quality and standard of sane life gangly ghosts from us swindle.
