J. Dover Poet Rhyme

Hanging By a Thread

Oh how I wish to be weightless

And I wouldn't have to be here

The threat of ever falling down

Would all but disappear

My fingers wouldn't be slipping

I'd float aimlessly through the air

I would never have to worry 

About the trouble everywhere

But alas its here I'm hanging

As if i were a maiden dead

It's slipping fast, I'm slipping-

I'm hanging by a thread
