Seethe and Strain

This is the story of Peter Drinklage;
a Russian meteorite struck his pad.
Ever since then seethe and strain were the rage.

Peter’s misfortune made Pravda’s front page;
He lived near Sochi with a cool comrade.
This is the story of Peter Drinklage.

His damaged abode became center stage;
he missed the cirrus clouds of Volgograd.
Ever since then seethe and strain were the rage.

Peter then went on a mini-rampage;
he drove to the zoo an embittered lad.
This is the story of Peter Drinklage.

He saw a miniature horse in a cage;
such was a sight making him much more mad.
Ever since then seethe and strain were the rage.

Onto the beach thinking it would assuage;
The Golden Beachball* eased tension a tad.
This is the story of Peter Drinklage;
ever since then seethe and strain were the rage.
