What Shall We Do
What Shall We Do?
Shall we start with wine and women eating cheese?
Are there grapes in the forest? Will our children use there knees?
Shall we fall from clouds and eat from a pan?
Are there apples in the ocean? On this can we plan?
Shall we choke on a bone and cough up a lung?
Are there chickens in the closet? Push pins for the young?
Shall we poke at the marrow and pick with a stick?
Are there dogs in the bathroom? Does your candle have a wick?
Shall we fire aloft and charge to the right?
Are there daisies in the court room? Is your hair on to tight?
Shall we spoon our tuna and wish at the well?
Are there roses in the board room? Does your flower have a bell?
Shall we pack a loaf and wagons for the ghost?
Are there pigeons in the teepee? Is there fog along the coast?
Shall we board a ship and pass the outer isles?
Are there loonies in the camper? Does it always end in smiles?
