Beyond me.

by royst

The problems involved in running a state
What to wear when out on a date
Wondering why we care what others think
Technology changing faster than we can blink.

The pressure’s on to keep to the task
In the real world it’s tempting to hide behind a mask
Struggling to make to ends meet
Can’t stand the kitchen and it’s not just the heat.

The hassle of finding a job
Sit back and enjoy a cheese cob
Work all your life and what do you get
Married to some old ****, looking forward to your next bet.

The pressure’s on to take the task in hand
I’d sooner sit and play with some sand
Cars, rows, bars, mad cows
Not knowing your enemies from your best pals.


Written in 1996.
