Why work, when you can be a starving poet on the edge of contemporary society! LIKE ME!

    So you can be a well fed poet on the edge of contemporary society! Like me.

      I wish I were well fed. I'm starving half the time.

        While work sucks, it does give one something to write poetry about. Oh yeah, and food, sometimes, too.

          Except when I try to tell that to my muse,
          I have to deal with her abuse.
          No, she insists I stay at home
          and worship her upon her throne.
          She feeds upon my suffering
          No matter what my offering
          Perhaps she will be satisfied
          When I am finally crucified.

            in those long dreary hours they call marriage
            I long for some relief that can carry
            me through to another brighter day
            then I think about what made me this way

            it wasnt my wife
            who stays with me day and night
            it wasnt her love
            or anything she had done

            she loves me in her own way
            and I her much the same
            we are each other strength
            the costs we still pay

            when I look back at on this dreary marriage
            I realise its not the marriage at all
            my salvation is in that carriage
            its outside the marriage I drop the ball

              Madness waits for me
              Like a groom waits for his bride
              and here I come all dressed in white
              wagging my tail behind me
              like some stupid bitch
              comin' on down at The Price is Right
              Hoping to get rich.
              Well, what can I say?
              I know it's not that way
              but any day now
              I'll flip my lid and take my vow.
              Then the doves get released
              and liberty is increased
              Perhaps my vanity will be
              my dowery
              and on my wedding night
              he'll tie me up in lace
              say grace
              and devour whats left of my identity
              and I will not be
              the same
              and I'll take his name
              and our children
              will free the world.
