Do I have time to write a villanelle
To think of worthwhile topics is a pain
I’m feeling lonely, so I think I will
This room is dark but feels as hot as hell
I’m sipping boiling China tea again
Do I have time to write a villanelle
My friend is on the motorway, she’s ill
She never learned that cities have no end
I’m feeling lonely, so I think I’ll yell.
She’ll probably take some higher kind of pill
If she comes she’ll drive me round the bend
Do I have time to write a villanelle?
Once on Langdale Pikes I slipped and fell
My mother never knew how I descend
I’m feeling mad now so I think I’ll yell
I have a small piano, ain’t life grand?
Pardon me for giggling with the band
Do I envy now the villain’s Belle?
I’m immoral, now life’s temporal.
