A Little Off Centre
A little off centre has its perks
That's why humour usually works
It sure can liven a boring talk
Maybe a Monty Python silly walk
Silly words can bring a smile
To help forget for just a while
The awful things taking place
The world has fallen in disgrace
We need to talk and have a beer
Change the mood of hate and fear
Let's turn to each and every man
Say 'howdy friend', extend a hand
Try a line of which you're fond
'D'ya hear the one about the blonde?'
Ya know it's gotta be worth a try
To put a twinkle in someone's eye
So listen to what I have to say
It may just save the world one day
Laugh a lot and chuckle often
Too soon you'll be leaving in a coffin
