Up In and Among the Clouds

Up and Among the Clouds


Up and among the clouds 
Feet never on the ground,
Missing points, forgetting things,
Always stumblin’ round.


It’s kind of fun up in the air,
Looking for keys, fighting a sneeze,
With no rain coat,
Floating around, unprepared.


Getting lost on the road
Fun on a different path to the store,
At least seeing new scenery,
Oh, yes, did I say that before?


Did I buy that on my card or check,
The bank is wrong, I know,
Well, that’s what you’d expect,
From child tellers, not even grown.


Up here in the clouds I wear
One shoe of brown, one of black,
Well, don’t ask me to explain,
I was worried, cut me some slack.


Forgive the snarls in my hair
I once wore in a pony tail,
A free spirit up in the clouds,
Floating, I can never fail.

There will be grey hairs everywhere that will enjoy your description of a normal day. It's about like John's description of heaven. He didn't have the words. You've found the words for this and put them in good order. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
