Too Weak To Be Sorry
Too weak to be sorry
Too guilty to give in
Too proud with vainglory
He's in a loony bin
Too dull to have luster
Too vapid to have fizz
Too loud with false bluster
He's in a spinning whiz
Too mean to give kindness
Too clumsy to give grace
Too inept with blindness
He's in a wild-goose chase
Too small to show valor
Too massive to show fear
Too gross with vile pallor
He's in a weird career
Too fake to be honest
Too shifty to be straight
Too angry with tempest
He's in a frantic state
