358. When Things

Go tell the rooster to crow his morning sound
Daylight is approaching and a new day is coming round
There are things to do and many places to go
Awaken all the children and clothe them from head to toe
The circus is a coming and excitement is in the air
Dress in all your finery and come down to the town fair
Gather all your families and journey to our main street
They’ll be plenty of stuff to do and many things to eat
So remember how things used to be before our techno years
When things were just so simple then no reason for our fears
Take heed to do things slower and listen to your brain
For life can be even happier without the need for gain
