Five of Six


 

You may think I’m dumb

Some profound idiot

"Look at your life

You’re Bloody-well screwed."

Well, I took my problems to a professional

I flung them out onto a table before him

His eyes widened and his head hit that table

He said, “They’re idiots to cast those upon you."

He said “Here you go." and checked an otherworldly cheat-sheet.

He let me go claiming,

"Those problems don’t need to be solved in the real world"

"So many can go on, regardless"

And sent me away with a free pass

But I am still troubled by these issues

So I must continue to toil until the fateful day when I can let it all fall

These days until then will drag on

And I’ll get awful looks

And get called an idiot

Because after all, it’s my fault to have all these problems in the first place-

Well, Isn’t it?
