Inside Peering Out…

Inside I be, oh gosh and golly gee,

To peer out at the world all about,

Fear though I feel, still in here I kneel,

No desire do I feel to be out, as long as I have with me a rainbow trout…

Sharing this crate, with more than just bait,

Find do I myself to be lacking the self,

Painfully alone am I, herein I do live and permanently sigh,

Peering out through the peep hole, life may pass me by, but don’t want do I parole…

The world is a dangerous place, my crate full of eternal grace,

If you could see the danger around you, a crate you might find to embrace, when you’re feeling blue…
