Mandatum

Quite knowing why, I succumbed once more
To what I'd resigned not long before
The sand's been turned, my time's begun
And the necessary has been done

I cursed the smoke yet lit the fire
Burnt my life on a two inch pyre
The song's the same, the words repeat
You can check out, but never leave

[PS: rorschach, thanks for the lines]

Our little boy drew on the day before Easter

After relishing a smoke as long as a meter,

" I'd given it up for the period of Lent,

However, I now am completely spent

How now can I face St. Peter?"

Tis poetic justice with which you carve up Drew on the day before easter.

Now all one wishes is that little boy Drew stop prancing around like a feminine fairy hopped up on Dew.
