Bedridden

Stricken, 

And dicey, 

Solid fallen wayward shadows. 

 

Veneering the very being, 

Besides me, 

Welcoming cold weather astranged. 

 

Furthering the secondary, 

A tertiary beginning, 

The foolish abomination of stricken death wish.

 

Golly it does be tell, 

Forensic and death bells, 

A pedal on the ever lay. 

 

Caucus and delibriation, 

Vorumption of sad tales, 

Stricken astray and sick again.
