There's Not Much New Today
THERE’S NOT MUCH NEW TODAY
THE SKY IS BLUE TODAY
THE SUMMER’S END IS NEAR
MY SPECIMEN IS CLEAR
I’M HAPPY AS CAN BE
TO LOSE MY SANITY
MY LIFE IS EXTRA GREAT
WHEN I DELAY MY FATE
MY CHILDREN LOVE ME SO
IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW
I HAVE SOME SECRET FRIENDS
WHO DANCE IN THEIR DEPENDS
MY GRANDKIDS ARE THE BEST
THE REASON I INVEST
THE TIME AND TROUBLE MADE
TO MAKE THEM LEMONADE
O HOW I LOVE THE FALL
I LOVE IT MOST OF ALL
THE LEAVES THAT BLUSH FOR ME
ARE NAKED AS CAN BE
THE SATELLITES AND STARS
AND GREENER GUYS ON MARS
ARE SUBJECTS OF MY POEMS
BECAUSE MY THINKER ROAMS
MY SPIRIT WANTS TO FLY
OR FIND AN ALIBI
TO DRIFT UPON A CLOUD
AND DRIP UPON A CROWD
I LOVE TO FOLLOW GEESE
UNTIL I HAVE TO CEASE
IT JUST MAKES COMMON SENSE
WHEN BIRDS HAVE FLATULENCE
I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE
WITHOUT THE PAIN AND STRIFE
THAT SOME WOULD DUMP ON ME
BUT I WON’T LET IT BE
THE EARTH BELONGS TO GOD
AND THOUGH IT MAY SEEM ODD
MY TROUBLES ARE HIS WAY
TO DOUBLE-DOWN EACH DAY
THE MANSION BUILT FOR ME
IS WAITING PATIENTLY
LIKE STARFISH ON THE FOAM
TO WELCOME ME BACK HOME
MY TIME UPON THE EARTH
HAS JUSTIFIED MY BIRTH
O WHAT A HAPPY DAY
TO LIVE MY CRAPPY WAY!
