Dumb

Life gave enormous chance

To me to pause and get past,

What was an endless haste,

But to me, all I wanted it to last!

My life's boat swam aghast,

Seemed all, such a power cast,

Winds pushing at the mind's mast

Oh! how I lost my mental chaste!

I swiveled left and I swiveled right,

In search of that missing height,

That it dazzled me day and night,

All I got was a laughing plight!

Dreamy had my vision become,

That I wandered so away from home,

Sans sense, listened to all random,

And acted I in clouded epitome!

Wonder what end it hit,

That I lacked my moment to sit,

And I happily bit

What they gave me to eat!
