Said the mirror to the poet "Can you really over think?" Said the whisky to lonely "Can you really over drink?" The coffin creaks to the undertaker "Are you satisfied with your work?" She grimly replies to the casket "Well, it has certain unique perks." The earth sighs to the human population "When will this violation eventually cease?" We ignore her pathetic mutterings And order "production must be increased!" The poet sheds a crocodile tear As the shadow of insanity looms The lonely empties another bottle Staggers back from the shop and resumes The undertaker makes final plans For her own elaborate swan song A sun drenched plot of gravel reserved Beneath which she will soon belong And the Earth despairs at her children She did not raise them to be this way And just like the forlorn undertaker She is also planning her final day.

Reflections.
Said the mirror to the poet "Can you really over think?" Said the whisky to lonely "Can you really over drink?" The coffin creaks to the undertaker "Are you satisfied with your work?"

We ignore her pathetic mutterings And order "production must be increased!"

Feel free to offer suggestions on how I might improve this. I am but a novice.
