Running Life Away

Running Life Away We run around in this race This race we run around Around this race we run This rat race in our town We run uphill then run down Then we run circles around Around the town then back up Covering every inch of ground We run ourselves, we run our kids We run every single chance we get Running for this, running for that So much running but we're still unfit We run errands, we run to the store We run our mouths even more Across sand beaches to distant shores Sometimes on two feet, others on all fours Why is it that we run so much Why is the world in such a hurry Why can't we just relax a bit Why is it we all have to worry Life is good... Everything will be just fine... bmdavey@05/25/16

Another great one Brian. We run maybe because we want to see everything there is to see, but the problem is we cannot comprehend the things we see...... brilliant
