A Nursery Rhyme


Morrissey, Morrissey,

  Why are you glum?

“I’ve lived in the world

  And the world is a slum.”


Morrissey, Morrissey,

  Are you ever delighted?

“Those who are happy

  Are confused and short-sighted.”


Morrissey, Morrissey,

  Do you see any hope?

“As you hear in my lyrics,

  The answer is nope.”


Morrissey, Morrissey,

  What’s the result?

“I keep singing my songs,

  And my fans are a cult.”
