I Am Doomed

Did I ever have to be like this I'm besieged My lambs are born speckled My wife goes to the spring at night When the moon is high What shall I do Summer is approaching I have to go away from home fast To look for herbal boughs Before the day arrives To cure my impotency Tried all efforts to straightened my arrow But all in vain My voice is silent Since I am doomed for good No play for me No seeds to sow Surely,I am doomed Hearing my wife scream Not because of fear But because of excitement I have to cover my head And block my worried thoughts I am doomed! Labour pains shouts are heard from people wearing white coats A progeny is brought into life What a useful house help I am Bringing towels for all For a progeny whose trace is unknown I am doomed When will my fence get fully repaired I have bought all kinds of wires But all have no use since My fence is totally broken Oh,I am doomed! I vowed never to let her go As I am married to her I am a slave to this love I am doomed
