to avoid feeling like a useless piece of shit
I convened a meeting on the monumental mess
a quorum of one, still there was some suspense
not really surprised and fairly impressed
I plundered the search box for recompense
signed my surrender, dropped any pretense
gold and myrrh - and burning frankincense
shit was everywhere, packed in really dense
in short - to condense:
it was all a little bit - ludicrous
the big top convention had already commenced
shouting mean chants instead of drafting a defense
some actually polite in a different context
proud, if bitter, feeling dispossessed
sifting through the scraps of Apollo's mess
herded past the labyrinth of common sense
captive to a series of unfortunate events
hearing the paeans, then promptly taking offense
in short - to condense:
it was all a little bit - ludicrous
gratuitously huge - gorgeous immense
amorphous, formless, and nebulous
staring in the bowels of ruthlessness
egregious, fruitless, and tortuous
when the wrath surpasses metamorphosis
its monstrous, obnoxious, and imperious
the gracious stand aghast at the hideousness
labeled sell-outs, bigots, even blasphemous
in short - to condense:
it was all a little bit - ludicrous
the minutes of the meeting - all its contents
were just a shapeless heap and didn’t make sense
mostly boring as fuck, sometimes pretty intense
nothing bud light would care to present
I watched it unfold at my own expense
It just pissed me off and made me fucking stressed
I chucked that crap past the wall and the fence
passed a quizzical bird, perched chirping its two cents
in short - to condense:
it was all a little bit - ludicrous
after popping some corn for the apocalypse
I needed a dose of the innocuous
joyous, judicious, and generous
fabulous, glamorous, and frivolous
hilarious, ingenious, miscellaneous
marvelous, miraculous, and idolatrous
variously vacuous and virtuous
illustrious, impervious, androgynous
in short - to condense:
it was all a little bit - ludicrous
