Lessons From Our Good Pal Ozzy

bloody hell
why am I yelling at you
in a Liverpool accent
saying things I know I don't mean
cursing your evil
and locking you out?
what is it all about and does this mean
we can't drink socially or enjoy
a bottle of vino with the citronella candles lit
on the deck
and Scrabble on the table?
will i ever be able to sip it slow and stay sweet
and eat Danish Wedding cookies one at a time?
I'll always rhyme by accident
and pound my fists against the wood
and throw things across the room
and burst bubbles
and want to drive to Mexico because we can
one lifespan is stupid
I demand
an explanation!!!
