fiddlesticks

Going around the pole so fast I almost leave the ground
They are shouting at me so loud that I cannot hear a sound
Doesn't really matter how hard I try, the truth cannot be found
Like trying to pick the knot apart with the string too tightly wound

Three ways into the castle some are better than the one I chose
They wouldn't let me in the main door because I had on dirty clothes
You can't get them to believe you when it's as plain as the tip of your nose
So now I will choose the fourth option and record my woes in prose

Most problems have a solution but some are too hard to see
Especially when you use a hammer to put a bandaid on her knee
When you cannot break the door down maybe you should try the key
Typically the largest obstacle is the lack of intentionality

Some objects are treasures and some things are made of smoke
It's hardest to douse the flames to the fires you continue to stoke
You showed your greatest reaction to the words that I never even spoke
Doing routine maintenance is like fixing it before it gets broke
