Should you wake
One morning on a small patch
Of green where love
Had grown careless out of neglect,
Should you froth
To consciousness beside
The sea of foam that
Swallowed your golden fleet,
I’ve only got a few words to say:
Stop drowning.
And for God’s sake,
Do something about the lawn.
It’s a mess.

That’s it. I’m done.
