I heard a lullaby
Then a funeral dirge played
Passed by abandoned lot full of weeds
Peered thru a florists' window with lilies displayed
Savored a strawberry ice cream cone
Vomited a mad cow when Pepto failed
Got angry when I was falsely accused without a trial
Felt triumphant, shackles were removed and truth prevailed
That embrace made me toasty amid the blizzard
This vice grip made me so frozen in fear
Got drunk from the whine of my soul's agony, but sobered up
when my cup overflowed with a joy that was utterly sheer
So much happiness and sadness at the same time
Irony overwhelms my day
I'm hoping that the tears won't over power the laughter
And drown out every giddy utterance that I say
It's bad enough that the salt stings the wounds, even worse would be
to allow the salt to taint the sugar and take all the sweetness away...
