If You Pull a Long Face - Part Xvii
IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XVII
IF you pull a long bored face
Oh What's the use no way to be gay
Ev'ry effort gets bogged in rigged rat-race
Some covert service blocks my way
Yet you pull that long out-of-shape face
Bored by the way things turn out every day
No use turning out the lights in bed to efface
Lessons learned during the day you must weigh
If you go on pulling that long elongated face
You risk also pulling your hair out I dare say
Your eyes and ears too without using pliers
End up as Moon pulling tides on Earth all day
Then if you pull a long-pulled face
Forced you say to grunt low bleat and neigh
LIFE's not for sure a pleasure cruise in space
Measure of grains aroma ensures in cup of café
So if you must pull a long out-of-shape face
Depressed by the way the skies turn gray
Look straight ahead not downcast askance
The END's believe it or not but a sly moment away
