Today is such a beautiful day
I'm lining my pockets with leftovers
So all the bits and pieces I save
Can be enjoyed for later
Once I get the day back home
And lay it out on the table
I'll take canning jars and put it all in
Each one with a different label
I'll label one "The Perfect Sunshine"
Another "The Right Amount Of Clouds"
I'll put "The Cool Breeze and Birds Song" both together
They'll mix well when I let them out
I'll add the laughter of the children
Cheerfully in their play
The fragrance of flowers in the fields
To my jars of beautiful day
There's no need to put a date on them
A day like this could never go bad
Perhaps I will add a special note
Open...for the best day you've ever had
Today is such a beautiful day
I'm lining my pockets with leftovers
So all the bits and pieces I save
Can be enjoyed for later
Once I get the day back home
And lay it out on the table
I'll take canning jars and put it all in
Each one with a different label
I'll label one "The Perfect Sunshine"
Another "The Right Amount Of Clouds"
I'll put "The Cool Breeze and Birds Song" both together
They'll mix well when I let them out
I'll add the laughter of the children
Cheerfully in their play
The fragrance of flowers in the fields
To my jars of beautiful day
There's no need to put a date on them
A day like this could never go bad
Perhaps I will add a special note
Open...for the best day you've ever had
What lies behind the door,
Something you can’t see,
All the bits and pieces,
That reveal the true identity,
Of the person I call me.
A book reveals itself,
Once you open the cover,
Yet I remain a mystery,
Another unknown person,
Waiting to be discovered.
Only I hold the power,
The proverbial golden key,
That unlocks the door,
Hiding all the secrets,
Buried deep inside me.
I had vista on my laptop and thought it was great
But then I learnt that it was out of date
I sent off to America to get an update
Windows 7 is better than XP which I hate
I bought a new laptop the other day
It was just before windows 7 OK
I was told I could have an update for free
So I paid twenty quid for the postage see
I upgraded my laptop with two discs to find
I was totally confused but managed of a kind
To load all the bits and pieces that I needed
Then windows 7 installation was succeeded
They say that windows 7 was made by us
I didn’t have a say in it, I missed the bus
I am trying out the system right now here
If I have any problems it’s my fault I fear
