"I've grown accustomed to her face."

"The man with the golden arm"

Sinatra had an addiction, of a sort, in that movie! Here is an addiction of a different kind, and it can be just as deadly! ****************

From: "My Fair Lady".

"I've grown accustomed to her face"



Damn! Damn! Damn!

I've grown accustomed
to the pain!
It's already gripped me,
with each dawn!

I have adjusted
to the way,
love bobs around
all day!

Its ups!
Its downs!
Bring muted frowns!

But now, it doesn't
bother me, somehow!
Like, make me, hyper-ventilate!

I was a nervous wreck,
by demon doubts beset!
Never want to be
that way again, and yet!

It wouldn't take
much of a push,
To set me on my tush!
And,
my spirit break!
**
Yes!
It is almost like a drug,
a perverse haven of,
the highs!
The lows!
Up on my toes!

It's all so needful for me now,
Just like a coffee and a smoke!

I'm strung out
like a wire,
unto the nth degree!
Somewhat like a violin
About to snap its "G"!

I cannot bear
to leave the game,
I've tried to,
all in vain;

Addicted, to the pain!

**HATE**


I hate the Left!
I hate the Right!
I hate the peaceniks
And all who fight!

I hate the night!
I hate the day!
All those who Boo!
Or shout Hooray!

I also hate the rain or shine,
Being late or dead on time!

I hate a smile
I hate a frown,
Those, who can swim
And those who drown!

I hate the heat!
I hate the cold!
All cowards and
The over-bold!

I hate it when a poem rhymes!
Even more so, the blank verse,
Or the dissonant kinds!

I hate the sane!
I hate the mad!
Those who do good
And those born bad!

I think I hate,
The whole darned Earth!
Our solar system,
Galaxy and Universe!


Well! 'tis better than sitting on a shelf.
Having naught to hate, except oneself!
