jigsaw night
why is it always the last piece
that goes missing?

Cans't thou explain why thou art so lazy
when t'would be so easy to live life to the full
thy brain will dim and memory turn hazy
whilst all thy great potential turns to dull.
Thou makes some effort, surely, as I see
thee maketh diet'ry choices for the good
and taking exercise to make thy limbs free
though thy festive choices thicked up thy blood.
I beg thee, stop consumption of this good cheer
like sweet mince pies and sliced-up festive cake
and as the calendar flips to a new year
a better resolution shouldst thou make.
Though shouldst treat thy body as it were a temple
and dally as the virgin whores assemble
