Rod & Reel

sept 19 2008

I think and sing of many things
My voice gives wonder to ideas
My naivete is not within
The bounds of
Brevity
But it matters not to me

My soul is weak
My stomach churns an awful being
And with force, I command
Get out thee, get out
But to no avail
It stands

And so my dear
When the wind is low
And you hear my voice waver
Please be a friend
And call for me
For I am always in need
And twice likely to want a favor
