Hope

You are an old depressed man, Hope,
Cuddling with a pillow at the corner in my bed under the thin quilt,

I know it would be the old fisherman's story again
That I used to ignore and get disgusted about
But it's important to decide whether I will share the quilt or not...hush...
Hope, you are an old depressed man.
