Lethologica

Lethologica

Being an old man of walking-towards-the-front years,
I find myself beset with a large-number-of-aggressive-people fears.

Will my eyesight worsen into antagonisticism,
or am I doomed to die from analyticalism?

You may find these thoughts humerus,
but to me they are more than lugubrious.

Hah, I remembered that one -
who laughs last, laughs a ton,

Sometimes it’s indelibly easy,
at others, incredibly sick-to-the-stomach-but-rhymes-with-easy.
