Silly Song of Life

Sing a Song of Misery I’ve carried through my life, not relieved by living with my children or my wife. My children cost me money, and my wife just nags at me. Hear my song of misery, when will life set me free? Sing a Song of Happiness Oh, such a lovely life, in sharing precious moments with my children and my wife. My children keep my spirit young, my wife's love feeds my soul. Listen to the melodies that fill life's precious bowl. Sing a Silly Song of Life, it's you who plays the tune. It's you who writes the lyrics and decides the way you croon. For life's the same for everyone, it's just the path you choose. It's you who makes it Rock and Roll or fills it full of Blues. The wife, the kids and everyone you meet along the way will have to share to some degree, in how you choose to play. Are you the music to their ears or chains around their heart. It's you who makes the world go round, how do you play your part? Ivor G Davies

You should get an award for rhythm, I find it is very rare today (with a few exceptions of course)
