Plodding Footsteps Respect No Rhythm

  
	       plodding footsteps respect no rhythm
                 life’s forward tilt, a sneer
               what passes for ho or hum
                  sucks the vigor from its beer

                but complaints wear out
                   a million frowns
                and peeves are hope upside down

                So, on they trudge, footsteps plodding 
                   scuff life's wedding gown
