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?
