When thoughts dog you

When thoughts dog you,
Won't let you be; 
When thoughts dog you,
Won't leave you alone.

Take a little advice from me:
Throw yourself a frickin' bone
And let it get you down,
Don't wear a confused frown.

But take that crown
From your head
And replace it
With a cap instead.

Use mental effort
To forget it
Replace the weight
With a fluffy bait

And escape freely away
To refresh and recuperate
To return another day
To those thoughts incarnate.
