You're right, I don't think it's a good song either-- it was meant to be part of a musical or something, or a poem. Whatever. I'm glad you like it, though. =)

Can you not see that the pesimist is merely not fooled by flimsy viels? I don't think this is a perticuarly good song, but it is a great poem with good subject and wording. Nice work!
