Bad News
Listen to poem:
It's said it's never good to hear bad news on
an empty stomach_
such as the rolling clouds and clashing thunder.
Well as it stands, my stomach's full today; _
doesn't feel any better_
such as the rolling clouds and clashing thunder.
Should I have been standing up or sitting down_
such as the harsh winds blows up from
down under.
Maybe I could have laid me low in a ball on the
ground_
such as the harsh winds blows up from
down under.
I could have stretched me out with arms
spread yonder_
such as the last breath taken before my soul
fled asunder.
What could I have done better my mind
keeps a wonder_
such as the last breath taken before my soul
fled asunder.
