The Predicament

The Predicament



An old expression springs to mind -
"A fine kettle of fish" it goes.
As I hazardously hang, I find
a failure that will soon expose.

Now when you challenge gravity,
nothing should be left to fate.
Neglect is a depravity
now hanging from me like a weight.

Oh sure, I could try to ignore
or face the challenge of the scree
outcrops that high above me soar.
Onward should my focus be!

Hanging, I once more glance down;
helpless feelings won't abate.
How can I keep away a frown?
Hell! My zipper's in a downward state!
