Danny Dismal once had a Quest for life,
“Now I’ve lost any Zest for life!”
“I used to possess an inbuilt enthusiasm,”
“But that, seemingly, has toppled into a deep deep chasm.”
“It’s not that I just don’t get any encouragement!”
“It’s because I DO get so much discouragement.”
Exhausting, he found the rich tapestry of life.
Debilitating, as life now produced so much strife.
“I suppose it is because of the loss of the bloom of youth!”
“It could be compounded by so many people uncouth.”
“But, frankly, I just want to stay in, and pace the floor.”
“Almost afraid to step out, the front door”
“Could it be that the World’s a changing?”
“It certainly does need rearranging.”
Danny Dismal, “My spirit is crushed,”
“Down the toilet it’s been flushed,”
“Or so it seems to be for me,”
“Others seem buoyant, have buoyancy.”
“We don’t want things to further wither and wane,”
“Best to maintain equilibrium, keep things sane!”
“Should some sort of change lead to a schism,”
“Let it be most slow, such a gradualism!”
Such strange notions are decidedly quaint.
We are what we are, and ain’t what we ain’t!
Such a virtuoso, it’s standard don’t taint.
Remember, we are what we are, irregardless of paint!
Our country’s leader is like a bull in a china shop!
Surely to correct this something must stop!
But things progress grudgingly on, just the same.
No way to change it, no-one to blame!
That bull does bring his own china shop along.
And the bell does toll, for whom does it dong?
