growing stature and status

i am growing, increasing in size

with more wisdom, needing for self

yet another leg that third leg

to lift all that extra weight

i am growing, increasing in stature

and status; hence towards a cozy couch

to which i would be guided

with much praise and fan-fare

that comfy bed, to me will provide

an uninterrupted sleep

with neither nightmares of jealousies

nor daydreams of self-pomposity
