William P. Harris Sr. Poet Rhyme

Funny Pages

Walking through the funny pages of my mind
Wondering what was left there to find
Anything that might show me the way 
Getting me far away from today
Yesterday's.the wrong trail
And I know that didn't end too well
I won't be needing some fancy looking gal
She ended up with my ol pal
He now owns my new car
And I always end up drunk at his bar
Drinking what was left
Of my hard earned cash
Telling me to forgive and forget
Leaving town is  my best bet
yesterday's the past
He should I should head out move real fast
  .........,Stop .....
So lets just back up a few  pasesg     
 take a moment  rethink them lost wages
He takes my  lady and he's driving my new car
I end up drunk sitting in his bar
It took the rest of my hard earned cash
drinking all night just to rehash
So no new gal shall I find
Going to leave all that far behind
Don't really want to know.
What life had got to show
It gotta be way better than the ones gone past
A time when things weren't built to last
Tomorrow may be better than it seems
Maybe I can find  some new dreams
Go riding off  right into that sunset for sure
For yesterday there's only one cure
That's to head on out for tomorrow
Before you go drop off yesterdays sorrow I
I got up headed on out
Didn't even bother to scream or shout
Started out moving so fast
 heading away from the past
Let's go back a few pages
I went back in took all the wages
Now I'm heading out of this black hole
Driving this brand new car I stole
I didn't bother with that fancy gal
Left her sitting there with with my ol pal 
Suddenly life seems so kind
Now I'm ready to leave it all behind
Now leaving yesterday so very fast
It's ok tommorow this will be in the past
