… And That is the Problem

Lanky lips freely flapping,
Vocal chords forever yapping,
Viper’s tongue snapping, snapping.
Do you ever cease, desist?
Jealous little mocking bird
Clinging fast to every word
However petty or absurd.
You simply can’t resist.
Every beetle in your garden
Looks to you to act as warden.
Keep your prison without pardon 
Or venue of escape. 

Oh, to have a caped crusader, 

Superhero, innovator.

I could be a stowaway or 

Hide beneath his cape. 

But alas, there is no rescue, 

No glad ending to this film. 

Stuck behind and endless droning. 

That, my friend, is the problem.
