Frustration
Don’t pass this up dear friends - t ’is a portrait
Of disappointment, cheated hopes, and woe
A-burrowing the head in sheets - frustrate!
Frustration in persona -, -laying low.
Expectances not met, - short-circuted
By friends, - behold the mourning burrowing head,
And trunk exhausted, spent - prostrate , how sad
It is to see the poet peer frustrate!
Try never to be cause of so much woe!-
To cause a friend stretched out upon a sheet,
Or eiderdown with curling feet and toe,
It’s wrong ! it’s wrong ! and is not fair and meet.!
In disappointment and frustration’s chill
With cork screw toes he digs, that look so neat,
Behold! in fluffy eiderdowns until
He finds the spot where wit and dullness meet.
