Failure? Either a Foe or a Friend

Audio: Failure? Either a Foe or a Buddy

It is a crumpled and frustrating flat tire
That is slumped there going nowhere
Ambushes a desperate journey so dire
Hinders progress to a goal so glorious
Mightily striving to stifle the coveted bliss

The Cunning Street Vendor

Slowly I will sneak back incognito
Back to my rightful and glorious den
Like a chameleon slowly unseen
Today one leg tomorrow the other
Now so white then as black as the night
Sure to be back on my feet on the street
