Sloth and Idle Hands 🌀 Poem for RunawayRhymes 6
Everyone please come test your word-smithing, join in and support @hopehuggs, in her Runaway Rhymes #6 poetry contest! This fortnight's theme is "First or Worst!" With the help of @papa-pepper, the prizes total 50 SBD!
When I'm thinking the worst...
The very worst pain, is not ever to blame,
For the situation I’m currently in.
It’s my weakness of heart, that leaves its mark,
That blurs the lines ‘round my sins.
Supposed needs into deeds, these traits try to feed,
But I’ll block them at every chance.
Playing with innocence and feigning ignorance,
I’ll train them to kneel ‘fore my stance.
Excuses contained, there’s no more to drain,
To the other side and its wicked wishes.
Now get off this duff, pick up that stuff,
AND GO AND WASH THE DISHES!
(Conscious of Pain, Sin Gaining Speed, Establishing Dominance, Gonna Do It!)
