He walked in and shouted,
“Simplify! Simplify!”
I knew not of what he spoke of,
But I simplified all I had.
Yet, it was odd, as the devil pouted

I sought sanctuary in a chicken coup
Amongst eggs, bombs and foxes
The chickens pecked me and the ***** entranced me.
Slowly, she lured me to her den,
There , the atmosphere began to cool.

Arose, I, in a confused state.
The ringing would not abate,
“Simplify! Simplify!” came the sounds
And bellowed for an explanation.
Embarrassed, as my quasi-exile would demonstrate.

“*******! Fiend! How dare you!”
“It was time... it was necessary.”
“For you! I was content.”
“You were bored. I saved you.”
“Adieu.”

Time has passed, and I have age.
Regrets are foul, and I weep.
Pleasures are sought, and I weep.
“Simplify! Simplify!”
Time has passed, and I have sage.
