cautionary tale

accidentally swallowed my favorite beans

to toddle toward those towering beams

and, in the end, when they clean

they just want your soul, they want you keen.

for goals are always just a dream

a step up in the corporate scheme

so when you're standing, or when you lean

always make sure to say just what you mean.

for as we tumble toward what is real

we try to keep an image, we strive for ideal

and when it comes time to give your schpiel

you repeat and repeat, you broke the wheel

the wheel of misfortune, where dreams go to rot

and threaten to claim you with its nefarious plot:

just keep failing, baby, never try to grow

just keep grinding, grab that bag of blow.

and though your hear them, your family and friends

you only look forward to the apparent end

so try not to stutter, always watch where you step

and please don't get caught up in what you might regret.
