Giving Yourself Some Stick
I threw a stick & it came back
A boomerang! It knocked my hat
I picked the stick up off the floor
And threw the bloody thing some more
But every time it came right back
I said, “C'mon, cut me some slack!”
It hit my chest, it hit my face
But, still, I threw it in disgrace
Then, found inscribed upon the thing
The words that made my sane bell ring:
Don't beat yourself with the same stick
It renders you blind, & a bit thick!
