Kerplunk
Sometimes we get stuck in place
And all the dreams we used to chase
Have vanished, so it’s time to face
The fact our world has shrunken.
The plans and goals we’d once embrace
Have left without a single trace
And looking forward, we must brace
For hopes, once high, now sunken.
However, there’s a saving grace –
We simply have to slow our pace
As lofty futures we erase,
Not letting any funk in.
