| I wrote a little poem about my struggles I'm feeling alot of cravings today, so I've just scribbled down a little poem to try to keep my mind in focus... Sorry if it doesn't make any sense! Freedom I once was in a dungeon It was a fearful time The things that chained me to the wall Were beer and malt and wine It was a most unhappy place All sad, and lonely too I feared that I would stay there, trapped Until my life was through But now I am no longer there I escaped from there, you see; Life still has its ups and downs But I'm so glad I'm free Yet now that I'm no longer there I must be on my guard The dungeon master's at the gates And trying very hard... To lure me back within his walls Back to that place I left Back to the chains that bound me there All lonely and bereft He has a tray on which is spread A host of dainty things A brandy, gin, and vodka too A cognac, and a Pimms But though they look so dainty there A sting be in their tail And I don't want to be enslaved Within that dismal gaol For I have tasted freedom true More sublime than I can tell So I must now just skip along And wave those drinks farewell |
