Skew - Whiff

When life has gone skew-whiff
And best laid plans have gone awry 
When everything is topsy turvy 
And you're winging it on the fly 

There is something you can do 
To rectify the situation 
Don't waste another moment
Go and run off on vacation 

It's a radical approach
Not to stay and tough it out
And instead hope problems disappear 
When you are not about 

Lying under a palm tree 
Drinking pina coladas while you read 
May not change your problems - 
But its probably what you need
