i eat dessert and don't go for walks - you feel me?

me mate duckbill platypus
feels claustrophobic in my car

me other mate asked me to be his running buddy
we ran once, then he said it was too cold

what a load of rubbish
the river of death that finishes a hard life

when we ran, he fell to his knees
calling for a chair

we stopped at the McDonald's drive-thru and 
Jericho in the back started talking into the speaker

about the haunting impact of one's past actions
and personal choices that have broader

societal implications
when we pulled up at the window

they gave him a burger
