• Were I
  as quiet as thunder,
  how I'd wail and whine!
  One groan of mine
  would start the world's crumbling cloister shivering.
  And if
  I'd end up by roaring
  with all of its power of lungs and more -
  the comets, distressed, would wring their hands
  and from the sky's roof
  leap in a fever.

• I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack,
  And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black.
  So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked.
  I contracted lung cancer from third hand smoke,
  And I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince,
  The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced.
  The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket,
  In a rainstorm...and struck by lightning trying to get it.
