The Least Enjoyable Year

 

Aggressively Melodic, Bitterly Rhapsodic

His armor is tarnished, broken, unhinged

His steed has been gelded and put out to pasture

Might as well do the same to him

Still living with memories that make him cringe

Hoped they would have faded away as he matured

Sitting in the warm sun but his thoughts are cold & grim

Why, he cries, does everything have to be so hard

Why, why, why does it all have to be so hard

So so hard, so damn unbearably hard

Never easy, always, always, always hard

Never feeling like he belonged, always living on the fringe

Yearned for an ordinary life, settled for a disaster

Wasn't able to quite grasp the risk to life and limb

He had plans, dreams he'd pursue after this one last binge

Felt there'd always be time but the years are passing faster

Willing to jump in the water, never even learned to swim

Why, he cries, does everything have to be so hard

Why, why, why does it all have to be so hard

So so hard, so damn unbearably hard

Never easy, always, always, always hard

Why, he cries, does everything have to be so hard

Why, why, why does everything have to be so hard

So so hard, so damn unbearably hard

Never easy, always, always, always hard

Pick Your Battles Carefully...Your Battleaxes Even Moreso

 

Our Top Story This Morning...

Journalists make their money reporting doom & gloom

Because as we all know, good news does not sell.

Which is why I get up early in the morning and walk around the block

Instead of watching the morning news

Right after the birds start chirping

Especially in the Winter

The sun comes up and heralds the dawn of a grand new day

Grand new, each and every morning

Show It On The Road
