Flash, prance, shout, stare, glare
He's there, everywhere.
Locked in, stuck in snare.
Always in your face.
Focus locked in place.
Attention is grabbed.
Distraction has nabbed
Any free thought, stabbed.
Topics shift, switch, drift,
Avoids being miffed.
Avoids shun and shrift.
No time to dwell think.
No time to smell stink.
Chaos reigns to blur
Shake, rock, smash and stir
Away the demur.
Life's a grabber, ain't it?
With all of its up and downs
Never know what's in store
Best to just be a clown!
Whatever life hurls at you
Just laugh and giggle away
Time to worry tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day!
This is my own philosophy
Won't work for everyone
Give it a whirl, let it go
Kick it up, have some fun!
Life will be long and happy
With sunshine every day
Don't worry bout the forecast
Just smile and chuckle away!
Life's a grabber, ain't it?
Don't waste it on some frowns
Click up your heels, skip along
Turn nastiness upside down!
Once lived a gorgeous young lady
Whose past was a wee bit shady
A reputation quite naughty
Described as quite bawdy
Grabbed my attention as well as my matey
Life's a grabber, ain't it?
With all of its up and downs
Never know what's in store
Best to just be a clown!
Whatever life hurls at you
Just laugh and giggle away
Time to worry tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day!
This is my own philosophy
Won't work for everyone
Give it a whirl, let it go
Kick it up, have some fun!
Life will be long and happy
With sunshine every day
Don't worry bout the forecast
Just smile and chuckle away!
Life's a grabber, ain't it?
Don't waste it on some frowns
Click up your heels, skip along
Turn nastiness upside down!
There once lived a gorgeous young lady
Whose past was just a wee bit shady
A reputation quite naughty
Described as real bawdy
At the mall, she grabbed the parts of all the young mateys

HELLO
Am I too screwed for your taste?
Too twisted for your views
I see over a hundred of you
With blank stares and nothing to say
Is it because I question God?
Is it because I am what you are not? What you will never be?
Someone with a face and a personality
Hey, beautiful people!
Cant you see me?
Are you even awake?
No I suppose not, because to be awake is to be real
And to be real is a dark pain
Which most of us do not know how to handle..
Life's a grabber, ain't it?
With all of its up and downs
Never know what's in store
Best to be a clown!
Whatever life hurls at you
Just laugh and giggle away
Time to worry tomorrow
Tomorrow's another day!
This is my own philosophy
Won't work for everyone
Give it a whirl, let it go
Kick it up, have some fun!
Life will be long and happy
With sunshine every day
Don't worry bout the forecast
Just smile and chuckle away!
Life's a grabber, ain't it?
Don't waste it on some frowns
Click your heels, skip along
Turn nasty upside down!

Do you know how to use your brain?
Cost is only a pound just sit in a train.
Do you know what your fortune is?
Cost is only a pound to choose a fan.
Before to declare a name of your friend,
You need a gift cost is one pound a man.
You need a place reserve for a meeting,
Cost is only a Pound otherwise you are ban.
You need a glass of beer to talk to her,
Cost is a pound if you want to buy a can.
If you want to walk to enjoy a trip,
A pound for umbrella to secure you from rain.
You are very lucky we can’t offer more,
Come back again you are a person main.
We have a good service tell to your friend,
We used our mind for money grabber chain.
