The Forces That Work To Destabilize The Soul

David was scared of a great many things 

Some real, some imagined 

                  And some best left alone

Mongolian death worms, spontaneous combustion

Frogs raining from the sky and pulmonary consumption

He walked around carefully

                  Avoiding cracks in the sidewalk

Dodged his own shadow 

And danced around alley cats 

                                         And earwigs

His breakfast consisted of fruits served in threes

And two plates at lunch,

                            One for meats

                            And one cheeses

For exercise he daily jumped to conclusions

And stayed limber by warping his mind with delusions
