That open themselves up for judgement
Have the ability to ruin your day
Create a severe disparity
And then just disappear?
Things
Could always be better
That's why people study engineering
Even for a little molecule
These days
You need a frigging degree
As to not disrupt the nature
of Things
Could be different
But they never are
Things
Staying the same when you need a change
Reversing the status
When you've completely had it
Things
Never what they seem
Unless they are
And what a boring thing
For a thing to be
Even this bulge in my sock, thing
That is making me squirm on the train
Paying good money for some thing to sit on
Getting no thing
And yet, the absence of thing
Seems to drive us nuts
Unless you're a yogi
Or enlightened
And then things
Would just get in the way
While you're trying to do your thing
Collections, elections, selections
All about things
Things to keep us thingy
And clingy
Clinging on to things
For dear life
As if life depended on it
And then, sometimes it does
If your thingy is a dinghy
And you're drowning,
among other things
In which case
Keep on thinging
The alternative, while respectful,
Is called giving up
Surrender
And who wants to surrender
When there are so many great things
Left to see
Things to do
Things be had
Things
