Making History

Did NOT accidentally assassinate The next future favorite candidate For President of the United States (I ran through that stop light a split-second late) And changed the course of history today I helped to convince him to father a son Who'll murder his mother with his dad's gun I can't take it back, it's already done I said it somehow, somewhere to someone And changed the course of history today I begged their forgiveness for causing such strife The anger I spewed must have stabbed like a knife By hugging my son and kissing my wife I put back some joy into somebody's life And changed the course of history today No less important than paupers or kings (I stepped out to check what the mail lady brings) Snapped that dead branch where the mockingbird sings And so kept my place in the order of things And changed the course of history today
