Garden

My mind is like a garden, big garden, with woods and lawns and stuff.
There's a pond in there and in the pond there's an aligator.
I call him The Beast Within.
I can't drain the pond and kill the aligator 'cause
he's part of the natural backdrop.
I don't realy need to go swimming in that pond to get in trouble,
he can jump out on dry land and try to bite me,
so I have to build a defence against him.
If anybody wants to come along and lend a hand that's all fine and good,
just as long as they don't set their aligators loose in my garden.
