The great farce

Oh, everlasting love!

In my corner I stayed

No tugging or mooing

In this sensory world

Oh everlasting pain!

In this sensory world

Quiet in my corner

No tugging or mooing

Deadter than alive

In this ridiculous story

Staged by me; litter box

Here's this clown

Bewitched doll that you love

Terrible loneliness surrounds me now

Because of this hideous farce ...
