Open To New Ideas

Open to new ideas
Where to flop my ears
Just lost below
Where it does not flow
My life is in tears

I desire to learn more
To get above the floor
To win some dough
Wake up to the snow
And allow the wind to roar

I wish to find all of this
In a bellied-up dish
Where we go
Just go slow
Maybe I’ll get my wish

Will you all help me
In getting a word for free
So I can yelp
And get some help
To finally climb that tree

Beautiful, Russell ... I'll help in any way I can, though I fear I'm not much use to anyone ... nor worth much. Blessings.
