The Callous Worm

The daily drudge

that just drifts by

the morning glory

in one's eye

the daily beast

that robs us blind

the holy see

has gotten time

and then right on

to mass appeal

the man that sought

that chalice seal

but when the doors

are all sprung shut

the masoleum

will gather dust

so when the day

comes flitting by

remember that

this telling lie

that all is done

for none abides

the callous worm

wriggles none for nye
