The World Is My Oyster

The world is my oyster I've heard it said Not a fan of oysters how about chocolate instead Or delicious french fries smothered in ketchup For an omelette with home fries, early I'd get up Do you feel a theme running through my words Not addicted to the yummies, that's totally absurd Granted they sometimes take over my thoughts But so does kissing really like that a lot Or even just sitting and gazing at the moon With the love of my life, making me swoon Guess what I'm saying is enjoy what you have Some don't have anything makes me feel sad How fortunate to know we're safe in our homes Some don't know if their homes they still own The bottom line is give thanks every day Hopefully that will keep your troubles at bay
