Analysis of Fancy-Free
The me you see is fancy-free: life beyond all worry.
But if you took another look
life has hurry-scurry.
The me you see is fancy-free: life mushrooming wealth.
But if you took another look
life has covert filth.
The me you see is fancy-free: life of just-deserts.
But if you took another look
life has countless hurts.
The me you see is fancy-free: life ballooning fun.
But if you took another look
life has yarns well-spun.
The me you see is fancy-free: life bloated success.
But if you took another look
life has heaps of stress.
The me you see is fancy-free: life devoid of glitch.
But if you took another look
life has a wild pitch.
