Why would someone do this to me?
It weighs a tonne and I feel a fool.
There's skill and artistry
in the intricate designs, but
any beauty in the detail is lost
in the overall execution.
No I won't smile for the camera
this thing is giving me a headache
and if I move a muscle
it will all come tumbling down.
So many problems in the world need solutions
and you choose to do this to me?
