Heavy

Heavy

As Atlas said to Sisyphus,
To lift the latter’s frown:
“We bear a heavy burden,
But don’t let it drag you down.”
As Sisyphus replied to Atlas,
In a weary wheeze –
“Huh.  Yours is on your shoulders,
But mine is on my knees.”
So Atlas said to Sisyphus
“Don’t be a deadweight, dude.
You’re so intense and full-of-lead,
And warp space with your mood.”
But Sisyphus replied “Just stop !,
You’re weighing on my soul.
But I wouldn’t stand down there, mate –
This rock’s about to roll.”
