Analysis of # 526 States of Emotion
Sometimes I wish I was more cerebral
Instead of going on my emotions,
Often being quite fortuitous
Without the thought up potions.
Doldrums come more frequently
When I'm feeling put down
Wishing for a state of jollity
It's best to chase away a frown.
I'm covetous of others' stalwartness
When things are not quite as they should.
I sure wish that I could promenade
Through life's measure being understood
And patience sometimes I seem to lack
Arrogating past the stumbling blocks
Sometimes with much ballyhoo
Oh! if only I could push the time on clocks!
(c) 1999 by Jean E. Gorney
