No Surprises

Feedback Received!

My smoke alarm is turned off

Batteries hang from it's dead corpse

After repeatedly beating it

My morning announcement is no longer set

I've no reason to lift an atom

My ginger some way of staying alive

A single magpie is forever sat in my garden

I've been meaning to get a person to remove it

Through classes and set dates

Red rings will be ignored

I suppose it is a long drought

Never ending serotonin deficiency

Yet never have I sought a replacement

I've been sat patiently, waiting for it to arrive

In blackened robes, I return to my corner

Filled with black holes and pillows

A distraction from my own self

I'll be gone in a little while

When the pills dilute

And the liver waves white

My alarm is not set off

The masquerading sweeties have done their job

So long, jail cell
