In All Things Give Thanks
"In All Things Give Thanks"
It's 5 A.M. another day.
That clock! It didn't ring!
Slow as I am what can I say...
My behind's in a sling!
I've got to hurry! Where's my Keys!
The water's COLD!! Good Grief!
No toilet paper...Where's my Keys!
Run in my hose...Good Grief!
The toast burning...Where's my Keys!
"Yes Sir, I'm on my way."
Well, true if I could find my keys...
What's in this coffee--Hey!!
Who would have thought...I found my Keys!
Oh no! You've got to start.
Oh, come on baby. Pretty please...
Yes! Now! Off to Wal-Mart!
Cain't show with a run in my hose.
Oops! I better slow down...
Doin' 20 over...on the nose.
Now what! Just move around!
This isn't Sunday don't you know!
Come on! Get off the road!
You gonna drive or watch a show!
Where's your card you old toad?!
Get the ...well now that's more like it.
I'm just gonna be late.
Thought I's gonna have to hike it...
Could have been there at this rate!
What's all those flashing lights ahead?
'A multiple car crash...
Said, sev'ral people may be dead'...
Everywhere there was trash.
It's 9 A.M. this very same day.
That clock...it didn't ring...
Or I'd be up there--dead--I'd say...
Had not Angles 'fixed' things.
