An Afternoon In the Hammock

Imagine no cares Just floating in air Swaying in a hammock Birds singing And a band playing in your ear No 9 to 5 to ruin your day Todays decision which track to play Or should I read my book today Jump on board the page train Let it take you faraway From urban park To tropical heavan Summers here to stay That’s all I have got to say.
