2828 - The guilt trip page

It's been a hectic day, hectic, hectic
Also a nice day, sunny and springlike
The things I've done today could make me sick
If I was in Nausea by Sartre. A pike
Is a fish with sharp teeth, you wouldn't like
A nip from him, but I'd like a nip or
Two from a beer bottle to take the spike
Out of this life, slow things down, so I'll pour
It down, unlike the rain that's eased off for
Our pleasure. Measuring things by yardsticks
I'd say this last week's been good, open mic-
Wise and friendwise, though I've spent a bit more
Than I'd like, for example, on plane tick-
ets. Guilt trips and holidays are alike
