Fuck this shit

Written like a man at work on a slow day!
We need rain, I'm told.
It rains, complaints grow tenfold.
The rain disrupts the soil, the soul disrupted in turn.
Roses are dead, Violets are dead, I suck at gardening.
With practice makes… ah, yes, of course, more dead flowers.

They matter to me when I go in there to pee.
(I wrote it in a few second before looking at the OP post, but the form turned out remarkably similar)
Every day is another test. I forgot my #2 pencil.
And yet, with no pencil in hand, wisdom is espoused.
Seriously, this one was great. You should remember it always.

The kids are fighting again.
I love being their dad!
A dispute between children strikes fear into all weary minds.
I like that.

Life is too short

What you can
Do not dawdle,
but do not become married

Make amends with your friends,
lest they meet unfortunate ends.
Hobby horse, eat a cake Jump around, break your leg
Horse, if you didn’t devour cake, you’d still have leg.
It only has one leg. It's a hobby horse.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Poetry is hard to
There are two or three and sometimes four? Potentially... more.
Sometimes less is best.
If all is zero, nothing is.
women, girls, ladies
a lifetime is insufficient

Today is Dog. Yesterday was Water. Tomorrow will be Monkey.
Wow, isn’t it funky when the day is a monkey?
It's a good day for games.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
And so are you,
Ack! I’m choking! Ack! I’m losing sight of the world!
Sit and learn, find each nuance, miss the entire point
I am married to my preconceptions; everything else is scary.
Wondering into the endless sunset,
Stumbling time and time again

Crushing reality, Hurtling towards destruction. I need to do more.
The clock ticks on. Though, the promised hour never comes.
Fuck this shit
Fuck this shit
Seriously
Fuck this shit
My cat died
New cats
One's anxiety
Is too much
Sounds just like our situation. Is the anxious cat young?
Vainly struggle
Against ill intent
Until we recede
Into oblivion
