Consider; I missed a no-hitter
But a small price for peace
Saint of St. Patrick
Fount of humanity
A manatee of sympathy
The path was often black
I've stood in Styx
Waded through Lethe
Committed coitus in Cocytus
Until finally
The pure glory of Purgatory
Nice to be not angry
On guard for harpies
Hunted by herpes
Gnashing teeth
From japes of wrath to Ogden Nash
Benevolent, if not slightly injured
Not ready, but that's not necessary
Not a scratch for every itch
But a cleansing from when
Every little thing was a lens for envy
And everyone was a bitch
Soothing; the rest of the reset button
Like an enema from Enya
Flush with hope and growth
For depth beyond gropes
She came and went, and briefly wept
Not an end game, but an important step
