Elli spare me

 Elli came walking in
Things were sagging
I looked at the cliff

I said to her
One day i'd like to get up there
She laughed and mocked my knees

Elli came riding a boney horse
Grinning like the twelth demon
I touched the sky and pleaded

Her laughter broke out and attacked 
Seeking me like disease
With my good eye I winked

Bought myself another decade
Grateful chuckle as I tackled the jagged
Old cat of a women pleading

Oh I must build and conquer
Build and conquer
Come back a million times

She whined like an agonizing blizzard
Cutting at me with her frost
My hair whitened so I pulled it out

Ken you not old woman!:
For I am the poet who has hopped the sea
Touched the past

Elli let me grow some still
Bury not yet me
