A DRAGON'S BELCH "Don't burp," my mother told to me, I thought it best to heed, When I was just a little lad And barely on my feed.

FROM A RECOVERING MELANCHOLIC... I was melancholy, because life seemed too hard I was melancholy, because life seemed too frail I was disconsolate because I strove too much I was melancholy because I feared to fail... The burden of my future weighed quite heavily The pain of my past kept me blue And yet underneath there was ...
