Mill to mill a bitter pill this treadmill that we're led to
and from mill to mill we will always be
candy for the mills of society
they gab in the background about Christmas,
alas
no Christmas for me
the foreman has told me to work that day
and no turkey shall I see
cold ham and pickle with cheese and a tickle of trout
lightly poached (nightly poached) from the river that runs through his Lordship's land
and yes
I bite the hand that feeds me for it's the same hand that needs me in mill to mill when will it all end.
