Little Engine

her velvet mind swallowed me whole in one bite noble i tried to encompass her fairest face in words sweetly written but knowledge awaits the little engine that could chug chug chug up the hill pushing his boulder of wheat till just as he reaches the top he tumbles back down again so he must repeat till dooms day so he must repeat till he learns the golden rule there are no rules just fancy ways to cheat just better circus clowns with speedy little lies just bitter old men soaked in old wine cursing with one fist feebly upraised at the ignorant sky her velvet mind so smoothly takes away more than was intended to give but its an ignorant little engine that could that tries to shortcut his break-even chances that tries to cheat the cheaters
