Aunt_Acid Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 I got the idea for this after hearing some proverb. He went on a trip, to get away from it all On a boat out in the sea; the captain in a sea of alcohol When the boat was thrown ashore on a small isle He frantically searched for his phone. Life had such guile. Like the grass, all men shall wither. Wither, wither, with or without. Misfortune, creeping up like a snake Like a dark black storm cloud on the horizon, Like the grass, all men shall wither Wither, wither, with or without. Getting off work, his phone rang His job had been outsourced, he felt fear?s pang. Driving home to tell his wife He yelled, and cursed his life Like the grass, all men shall wither. Wither, wither, with or without. Misfortune, creeping up like a snake Like a dark black storm cloud on the horizon, Like the grass, all men shall wither Wither, wither, with or without. Down in the gutter, a vagrant sat, wasting away He answered a ringing pay phone in the street-side array. Some stroke of luck, now he?s rich beyond his wildest thoughts Looking down upon the bums he drives by, bewildered and distraught Like the grass, all men shall wither. Wither, wither, with or without. Misfortune, creeping up like a snake Like a dark black storm cloud on the horizon, Like the grass, all men shall wither Wither, wither, with or without. Well, The first man was never heard from again The second lost everything he had; became a rat among men The third ate, breathed, and was money; it drove him insane. And a thousand years later, no one knew their names Like the grass, all men shall wither. Wither, wither, with or without. Misfortune, creeping up like a snake Like a dark black storm cloud on the horizon, Like the grass, all men shall wither Wither, wither, with or without.
