The hand that reaches down to hell
Gets scorched and the hand that 
Reaches up to heaven gets touched.
Hell and high water hand in hand.
Level lake disturbed by the swimmers
Stroke; arm follows arm slicing the still
Water. He daydreams as he glides 
Like an eel, glistening in the sunset.
Hell is quenched by the water he has
Touched....

Be strong, breed of mum! 
For with them you won't find a bliss.
They will make sure you lack and miss.
They will even be counting 
the sips of water you drink. 
They want you to stumble and fall
And only them the sound and strong.
They have got no word of honor
No respect and no hope of being temid.
With them in darkness you will remain 
And come hell or high water
They will sort you out false and wrong.
They may look carat 18 of gold, 
But they are only plated and fake....

Being lazy today is the name of the game.
I have no remorse, I have no shame.
I’m watching Hallmark movies to my heart’s content.
This Saturday afternoon will be well spent.

Come hell or high water, I won’t leave the couch.
This is what the doctor ordered for being a grouch.
The housework can wait, this requires my attention.
Being lazy today is the mother of invention!
