Michael Wise Poet Rhyme

Worry Worry

Worry worry, what a shame
Hurry hurry, all the same
 
Panic as you run about
Quickly put the fire out
 
Scream and yell if all else fails
Gnash your teeth and bite your nails
 
All is lost as darkness looms
Signaling impending doom
 
One disaster has gone past
Each new one worse than the last
 
Never know a moment's peace
Endless problems never cease
 
Anger, stress and tension mount
Over trials you can't count
 
Sickness, pain and sorrow weave
Their web around you as you grieve
 
Your final worry goes on past
Your life is over at long last
 
Worry worry, be not brave
Hurry hurry, to your grave

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart June 8, 2020 at 8:37 PM So good. I second what PS said about the tempo. I like the adage "worrying is praying for what you don't want", it helps me worry less ;), ~Maureen Michael Wise June 9, 2020 at 6:58 AM Thank u Pigeon! :)
