Analysis of Clog in the wheel
When I was a baby
I crawled without bounds.
Mother little know where I was
At some point or another.
I was ubiquitous
Around my neighbourhood.
When I had grown up
I had made a couple of friends
Who I visited at will
Without father and mother knowledge
They know I am like a speed of light
Being everywhere in seconds
Now I am married
A clog in the wheel
Of my progress
My wife
She is a clog in the wheel
Wherever I go
She wants to be
She is a clog in the wheel of my progress
