Worry Worry

Worry worry, what a shame Hurry hurry, all the same Panic as you run about Quickly put the fire out Scream and yell if all else fails Gnash your teeth and bite your nails All is lost as darkness looms Signaling impending doom One disaster has gone past Each new one worse than the last Never know a moment's peace Endless problems never cease Anger, stress and tension mount Over trials you can't count Sickness, pain and sorrow weave Their web around you as you grieve Your final worry goes on past Your life is over at long last Worry worry, be not brave Hurry hurry, to your grave © Mike Wise 2013

So good. I second what PS said about the tempo. I like the adage "worrying is praying for what you don't want", it helps me worry less ;), ~Maureen
