All good things
Come to those who wait
How this line rings
As I crash through the gate
I finally made it
To that coveted cloud nine
In the glory I sit
Happiness is finally mine
As I sit and gloat
Living my happily ever after
Row, row your boat…
I see the inevitable waterfall of disaster
For the whole cloud is docile and medicated
Like a psych ward attendee
This place is highly overrated
Filled with unsuspecting hopefuls like me
Like they say, no pain no gain
I’d rater tempt the hand of fate
This place drives me insane
I’m better off on cloud eight.
