Analysis of I worry
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
They say I am a worry warrior
But I worry they are wholly wrong
I am worried sick with worry
To make any worthy warrior
I worry I will be hit by a lorry
I worry I will fall from a storey
I worry I will get into a parry
I worry too much, I am sorry!
I worry my sight will go foggy
I worry my hair will go shaggy
I worry my brain will grow soggy
I worry too much, it gets buggy!
I worry that the sky will fall
I worry that the loan shark will call
I worry that my kid needs a doll
I worry too much, it becomes a droll!
I worry when I will marry
I worry when I will write a story
I worry when I will get into a folly
I worry too much, it must be silly!
I worry I am too busy
I worry you think me easy
I worry they are in a dizzy
I worry too much, it drives me crazy!
I worry anytime and every time
And I worry that I am always worried
But worrying about my worrying
Only makes me more worried
