“Too much of a good thing” is a thing, so they say
I’ve painfully proved it in more than one way:
My eyeballs are smarting… from too much smart-phoning
(So two hours daily ain’t smart?)
My diet confounded by pounding the pound cake
(Can gladness in glucose be found?)
My head feels like breaking from late-night bread-baking
(Can’t focus, my thoughts are half-baked!)
My eardrums are humming from worship band drumming
(Were too many concerts just dumb?)
From “too much of a good thing” protect me, O God
I’ll thus, “spare the (self-imposed) rod”! (Proverbs)
Don’t temper my temperance whenever I’m tempted
May Your Will with my own be preempted
Lest joy from my life be exempted
Then Satan’s deceit You’ll defraud!
