Analysis of Bitch
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
When your nuts get so tight
they’ve stripped Their threads?
Troubles so bad you’re ready
To go right out your head?
When your problems get so tough
They have your mind dazzled
Got you steamed up so bad
your nerves are frazzled
Instead of fuming or wasting time
just sitting around moping
Pacing back and forth
and ruining your health
Chain smoking.
Don’t hold back your anger
Until you meet a smiling physician.
Bait your hook with something else,
try going fishing
If only for once,
try something moderately extreme
Do what you need to do to blow off some steam
And if you’re worked yourself up so much
You could scream.
Anxieties in your life, on the job,
Even within your team.
Do something radical
The potential damage is real
you know the cards
Now time for you to deal.
Whenever you feel pressure
and need to scratch the itch
Find a friend who understands
