Wandered and Wondered

 He shucked the shell from the mussel,
 Gobbled the meats, and smiled and thought
 Of the tubers and greens he had rustled
 To roast up with beets, and steep in a sauce
 
Refrain
 For days he had wandered and wondered
 Pondered and plundered larders for lard
 But he pondered too hard, and hungered again
 And so he restarted, his feast without end
 
 He napped in the bristles, while whistled by bolts
 and other such missiles, launching or lobbed
 Some battle, or siege, or bloody revolt
 He finished his meal, and started to nod
 
 After so brief a nap, of hardly a day,
 He awoke in a red battlefield
 He thought of the visceral waste and decay
 But just for a minute, then looked for a meal
 
Refrain
 For weeks he had wandered and wondered
 Pondered and plundered larders for lard
 But he pondered too hard, and hungered again
 And so he restarted, his feast without end
 
 Something had always confused him
 Others abused him, but he just didn't bleed
 Or let in the spear tips, to puncture his skin
 He wondered why others, felt such wanton need
 
 If you really love life, do like him, just don't die
 Maintain your musk and deeply breathe in
 He'd tried to tell folk, just refuse to comply
 If a psychopomp visits, send him to kin
 
Refrain
 For years he had wandered and wondered
 Pondered and plundered larders for lard
 But he pondered too hard, and hungered again
 And so he restarted, his feast without end
