Nonsense For Sure
Here's some things that get overlooked
in truth, I'm sure they should
I don't know why I bothered
I guess it's cause I could.
Time is a funny thing
I'll tell you what I mean
change is inevitable
except from a vending machine!
I shouldn't have to say this
but this is sound advice
you won't need a chute to skydive
unless you plan to do it twice.
Here's a hint I'll pass along
if it's money that you lack
borrow from a pessimist
he won't expect it back.
Some people will cause happiness
wherever they may go
conversely there's a few of them
whenever they may go!
Hospitality is a tricky thing
I'm sure you will concur
It's making people feel at home
despite wishing that they were.
Diplomacy's an asset
if you can do it well
when someone looks forward to the trip
after you told them to go to hell.
A Forest Fire can start
with one careless match
Yet to start a Campfire
can take a whole batch.
Well that's enough of this stupid stuff
to write it was silly that's true
but you wasted your time reading it all
What does that say about you?
