Why is your verse
so depressing?
It makes it worse,
all this stressing;
no matter how
you use your words
to focus now
on the absurd
thing in the room,
the evil beast,
who needs more gloom?
Cheer up! At least
pretend to see
flowers and sky,
or just maybe
something on high
to give us hope.
Stop with the mirk!
We’ve enough rope;
more knots won’t work.
Besides, your life
is not that bad;
you love your wife,
and what you have
is good enough
to keep you sane.
So lighten up!
Don’t just complain.
