Giving In
By 'Xevious' Pat Banks
I can't take this aggravation.
This annoyance and frustration.
It's
really fraying on my nerves.
Is it the devil that it serves?
I'm stalked as I sit down to eat
And when I'm strolling down the
street.
Appearing right when I awake.
It never stops for goodness
sake!
It's impossible to read a book
Feed the goats or try to cook.
I've
put up a gallant fight
Against this pest with all my might.
But I cannot run. I cannot hide.
Every measure I have tried
For
freedom from this constant strife
That's bugged me my entire life.
I might as well just face the facts
Accept my fate, give up,
relax.
For the sooner I submit
The quicker I'll get used to it.
Then the habit should take hold
And stay with me as I grow
old.
Forever will I brush in place
This lock of hair out of my
face.
