Eyes Wide Open

Knick Knack Paddy Whack Can’t take back a wisecrack If you wanna be a crackerjack Earn a greenback from blackjack Gotta buyback your backpack Need to blister pack your flapjacks Evident ebbing of drawbacks Raises the bar for the sad sacks The good life, so Kodak So long as you don’t sidetrack Selfie people hide in haystacks Hoarding their golden tie tacks Shall we ponder how to give back Go beyond the dusty knickknack Respect deserves a worthy payback Not a flimsy whimsy kickback Society requests a comeback
