The demons are up before dawn. <br />Exercising their right, <br />To throw havoc on your path. <br />They are up before you yawn... <br />To slip you a 'mickie' quick, <br />And be on their way! <br /> <br />They know you aren't prepared for them... <br />To be full of vigor, zest and vim. <br />If you were they wouldn't be hanging around. <br />Doing the very best they can to bring you down! <br />That's why you can't afford to slide... <br />Not with these clever asses trying to wring you dry! <br /> <br />And they'll soak up every bit of sentiment that you've got! <br />Playing on emotions they know you rather not! <br />And delay your every action to move ahead they will do! <br />By using family members and friends... <br />To get to play along too! <br /> <br />Oh, <br />They are clever! <br />Those lieing demon bitches! <br />And once you recognize them, <br />And see them for who they are! <br />You will want to catch them early... <br />Delighting, <br />In digging others' ditches! <br />But you must sacrifice and trust! <br />These warlocks and witches will be gone before dusk!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
