GRAND ILLUSION


"It's not in the way that you use it"
with the color of that money
Made a "run" for it
"Something is tearing us apart"
A "Bad: influence took control
But I "walk(ed)" away
I am "hung up up on your love"
I "take a chance" but flew away like dove
"Holding on" for my own good
Do I " miss you" Love
"Holy Mother" let's pray
To conclude the" mask of confusion"
It has been a "Grand Illusion"

Grand Illusion  from Eric Clapton's AUGUST ALBUM

This Morning

This morning, on my walk, there were 
Two zebras on the grass.
A huge gorilla blocked my way
And wouldn’t let me pass.

But luckily, a UFO
Appeared; as it alit,
The terrified gorilla
Quickly made a run for it.

The aliens aboard invited
Me to take a ride 
And I was blown away
By all the gadgetry inside.

We headed through the Milky Way
And it was quite a thrill
To see the earth below us -
Oh, what pride it did instill!

This morning’s taught me more 
That what I’ve learned in all my schools.
I’m guessing that you’ve figured out
Today is April Fools’!
