i have a dragon on my door
and when you knock, he roars

in the eyes of a disbeliever

i think i'm allergic to you
    really, you need to stay away
every time you're near
i pick up some weird nervous habit
                                                     usually itching
my throat closes up
                     sometimes i can't even speak
my eyes water
                  because they don't close
     (no, i'm not staring)

but really, you need to keep far from me
         it's starting to really take a toll on my health

time to catch up

 time is fleeting
    that's an understatement
i'd like to grab a grandfather clock by the collar
  and demand that he slow down


stop his ticking
 because he certainly isn't getting any younger
and i've got assignments to do


lots of them
