i hide my pain and sorrow,
behinde a smile,

Don't sweat the small stuff, they say...

Make you pull your hair out,

At a big lump of marble one day,
He was sculpting a bloke,
But with one dodgy stroke,
The wobbly bits all flew away!

As he painted a farm in Provence,
He would turn in a rush
And while holding his brush
Adopt a most classical stance!

That artistic Italian Belinni,
Once ordered a toasted panini,
He was sitting alone,
But he started to moan,
As his sausage was only a weenie!

I stuff
my pillow
into a case

place it
at the head
of a bed
put my head
on it
and play dead
on it 
my bed
surrounded 
by my stuff
in any case
