In these days of gloom and troubles
when some believe the end has come
I like to sit here blowing bubbles
and spend my time in chewing gum.
In more bad news, I’m told the vicar
says I’m headed straight to hell.
What’s more, the doctor says my ticker
isn’t doing all that well.
So, if it’s true my heart is wonky
don’t caution me “Do something, quick!”
but, call me stubborn as a donkey,
I’ll practice on my pogo stick.
Some people need a call to action,
others want a war of words,
but they don’t know the satisfaction,
of feeding crumbs to hungry birds.
Some say I am a little lazy,
my methods give some people pause,
but, when the world is going crazy
I’m not the cure, but not the cause.
