Tomfoolery
I knew a man named Gary
I wrote about him in my poetry
But then, he turned out to be a bunny in a man’s guise
nonetheless I wisened and got more wise
I hope not to cross paths with a man and find out he’s a tom cat
because my go to feline feel is Garfield

Esforço que ninguém sabe que você faz, ou abdica muitas vezes em prol de algo ou alguma coisa. O esforço é um processo composto por muitas exigências que você faz de si mesma; faz mas nem sempre o resultado é como você espera.
