Theatre Temporarily Closed
Santa and Frosty went to the playhouse
A Disney movie with candy, popcorn
A small squeaky between the sits, a mouse
Theater closed, they stood outside forlorn

Temporarily Closed
Yellow tape and a sign declaring the exhibit is temporarily closed until further notice. I feel frustrated that I won’t get my cheap thrill—looking at something I don’t really want or need to see. So the bride is stripped bare by her bachelor but we can’t peep. Étant donnés. Revert the

Lost Temporarily
I’m lost and I need to be truly found
I’m so lost because my gladness is in the heartless grave
It is buried in the cold-stone ground
It’s my fault for losing you and I’m a fool that’s not brave

So Lost, Light Temporarily Eludes
So Lost, Light Temporarily Eludes
Once a man lost saw nothing but a stone wall
misery and blues ever since his great fall
So lost that the stars failed to shine
so blue he could not walk a straight line
Soon began to share his misery and self hate
blamed his torment on life and dark fate
Dark spirit
