Analysis of Frustrate

Charles Callaway 1988 (Alabama)



Like a waking bloom into this day
Wide eyed soon there is much time
Not to sleep and not to read
But time for sure to go and play
At least before when I was young like you
Like a damp bathmat I roll out on to the floor
Eyes still closed I stub my toe
Not time to eat or to sneeze
But time for sure to go and work
At least before when I was young like you..........
