I Was In a Big Snafu
I was in a big snafu.
I could not pay any bills.
And the neighbors never knew.
No need to feel all blue.
I read books by candlelight.
I was in a big snafu.
The electric bill was due.
Sconce and candles on each wall.
And the neighbors never knew.
I thought I might go cuckoo.
Hard work was about to fall.
I was in a big snafu.
I cooked meals on the hearth, too.
The payments would not forestall.
And the neighbors never knew.
Three house sales had fallen through.
I soon told my house adieu.
I was in a big snafu.
And the neighbors never knew.
