off-center

when given a number
of things i must do
i criddle and craddle
i widdle and i woo,

whenever i take
a long look around
i diddle and daddle
i triddle and tround,

when given a view
a thing that is wrong
i hiddle and haddle
i zingle and zong,

whenever i'm told
that enough is enough
i giddle and gaddle
i hough and i pough,
