Good Grief

Wa wa wonk wonk wonkwa 

Have I won the Shulzer Prize? 
Burping beautiful blue butterflies 
Metamorphizing my mind 
If only I could turn back time 
Yet I can change into a colorful cartoon 
I’m such a buffoon 

And deep down I know 
That when I stop feeling sorry for myself 
Only then will I be forgiven for my shortcomings 
So, until we meet again ... 

“I love you, Mama.”
