Please Assist

Please assist, the pains persist!
Intrusive fate will not desist!
I keep misfortunes in a list!
My poorness brings a trist!

Please assist, you see the gist?
My fortune’s gone and sorely missed,
With magic shackled to my wrist,
By sirens darkly kissed!

Please assist, I hotly hissed,
My sadness is a blinding mist!
I do not want to, but exist,
Insane and round the twist!

Please assist, I do insist!
A penny that I might subsist?
In dolefulness I do consist,
My torment like a cyst!

Please assist, we coexist,
And I am not a hedonist,
Nor am I, ma’am, an egoist,
Or rank recidivist.

Please assist, do not resist,
I raise a feeble battle fist,
Into the mill a little grist?
Thy goodness I enlist…

… experimenting with monorhyme.
