Coffee or tea?

Fragmented frogs frolicking fruitlessly freeing flavoursome fairy freckles,
But what of the speckled hound in the bin?
Well he growled,

My body not yet cold
But the brown of my eyes
Turns to gray

I will wear a large hat

Fiery clawed...

sweeping the light away from every human...

Feel like I'm playing a putter from the black tees,

A sign to this gullible soul, a warning, depression may soon strike
The poet smiles inside, no buffoonery here, his fingers tensed, ready
