Heaviness

Loads and loads Heavy loads So many loads That I need No, To much for me So why not, Let it go Too much weight No more room But why do I wait When the seas are enraged Why do I, hesitate To save myself Placing this stuff Back on the shelf Only to bear down On this boat Instead of tossing this cargo, Overboard So I can stay afloat Throw it off the boat It sounds so very easy But when the winds Are strong and breezy You see That makes that same cargo So very hard to throw I know This luggage Must be vanished Must be done away with But this load, this weight, this cargo Is just too much to shoulder It’s just too much to hold For one man, solo It will always be Who will aid me In tossing this luggage That has been so burdening
