Lashing Out
Lashing out in a huff gives hug
'Til deep within a scar he dug
Life with a angry~happy man
A fake smile saying life is grand
While in the kitchen the wife cooks
Getting by with hook or crook
As she pours sweet Pine~Sol too
Smell the savory scent of stew
Holding a hot coal to calm nerves
Anger dispersed throughout swerve
Acidic antidote poured out
Ruined the vessel's long strong spout
Living with angry~happy man
From outside life looked all time grand
