Just the other day, it seems I was taking a stroll Betwixt my thoughts and dreams When I came upon a hole. Careless and morose, I wandered too close. Stumbling! Oh! Tumbling! Woe! Such a cursed downward trip. Grasping, clasping, clutching, The slick sides refused my grip, And I slipped; lost touch. Tired and resigned, My mind went blind. Descent! Oh! Torment! Woe! Yet, the world appeared quite clear, Though my temper was black. I saw how frightfully drear wound the future's track. Frantic, I panicked At my droll edict. Penance! Oh. Silence... Woe? A quaint distraction found me, And reached out to console. Insipid pastimes found me, And filled up the hole. At last my thoughts, free, Yet my dreams, empty. Rescue! ... Relief! ... So ... ? Now I know I'm my own foe. Now I know When he beckons, Just say no.

Now I Know To Say No
Just the other day, it seems I was taking a stroll Betwixt my thoughts and dreams When I came upon a hole. Careless and morose, I wandered too close. Stumbling! Oh! Tumbling! Woe! Such a cursed downward trip. Grasping, clasping, clutching, The slick sides refused my grip, And I slipped; lost touch. Tired and resigned, My mind went blind. Descent! Oh! Torment! Woe! Yet, the world appeared quite clear, Though my temper was black. I saw how frightfully drear wound the future's track. Frantic, I panicked At my droll edict. Penance! Oh. Silence... Woe? A quaint distraction found me, And reached out to console. Insipid pastimes found me, And filled up the hole. At last my thoughts, free, Yet my dreams, empty. Rescue! ... Relief! ... So ... ? Now I know I'm my own foe. Now I know When he beckons, Just say no.
