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.
