Bad Habits

Bad habits are the curse of monks
beyond even their sleepless bunks
when all their clothes are made of hessian
it’s no wonder they’re in such a messian.

And though the cut is wondrous simple
they don’t smile enough to raise a dimple
their habits are so terrible scratchy
they’re all they have and so must patchy.
