Hobbling Hope

lyrics

Jimmy Biggs - Hobbling Hope

Oh! Blanket of fortitude,
Four-poster failsafe
And crutch to my hobbling hope.

The abortionist’s daughter
Like a pestle and mortar
Grinds down the herbs of my hobbling hope.

This barren act of charity
In all its vulgarity
Begins at the mattress of my hobbling hope.

The patron’s small tips
Are coins in my lips
For a ship on the Styx of my hobbling hope.

Far more than I’m needing
Is called a force-feeding
Five to the bar for my hobbling hope.

The pallbearer’s eyes are manic and crazed
Made to carry the coffin for days
Stop once for cribbage to help them to cope
Then back to my Keep of hobbling hope
