Only then will I head off home
And sort out my wet hair with a comb
I'll try a new style
With which I'll beguile
Everyone wherever I roam

I'll charm everybody I meet

The world just seems to have gone mad
With people hurt which makes me sad
I turn off the box

The world just seems to have gone mad
With people hurt which makes me sad
I turn off the box
So I don't throw rocks

The world just seems to have gone mad
With people hurt which makes me sad
I turn off the box
So I don't throw rocks
But sometimes I wish that I had.

Will humanity ever be sane?
Will peace and harmony remain?

Will humanity ever be sane?
Will peace and harmony remain
Is it too much to hope

Will humanity ever be sane?
Will peace and harmony remain?
It it too much to hope?
Is the answer nope?

Will humanity ever be sane?
Will peace and harmony remain?
Is it too much to hope?
Is the answer nope?
I pray for a newborn domain.

To start with the world was all fresh

To start with the world was all fresh
Oh why did we make it a mess

To start with the world was all fresh
Oh why did we make it a mess
Will it ever be right?

To start with the world was all fresh
Oh why did we make it a mess
Will it ever be right?
We can hope it might

hollysteers Sun 29-Mar-26 22:50:02

To start with the world was all fresh
Oh why did we make it a mess
Will it ever be right?
We can hope it might
I do have my doubts, I confess.

I do stick my head in the sand

Magenta8 Mon 30-Mar-26 10:57:26

I do stick my head in the sand
And only read stuff that is bland

Clawdy Mon 30-Mar-26 17:39:02

I do stick my head in the sand
And only read stuff that is bland
Don't like anything grim

BrightandBreezy Tue 31-Mar-26 00:37:12

I do stick my head in the sand
And only read stuff that is bland
Don't like anything grim
I keep my view dim

hollysteers Tue 31-Mar-26 10:06:48

I do stick my head in the sand
And only read stuff that is bland
Don’t like anything dim
I keep my view dim
So view all about me as grand.

My brother keeps such a long face

Magenta8 Tue 31-Mar-26 10:29:49

My brother keeps such a long face
He's despaired of the human race

BrightandBreezy Tue 31-Mar-26 13:57:46

My brother keeps such a long face
He's despaired of the human race
How to cheer him up?

Clawdy Wed 01-Apr-26 10:01:41

My brother keeps such a long face
He's despaired of the whole human race
How to cheer him up?
Maybe buy him a pup!

GoldenLady Wed 01-Apr-26 14:29:04

My brother keeps such a long face
He's despaired of the whole human race
How to cheer him up?
Maybe buy him a pup!
But he has little room in his place.

A pup would create a big mess

hollysteers Wed 01-Apr-26 14:31:07

A pup would create a big mess
And I hate to clean, I confess

Magenta8 Wed 01-Apr-26 16:25:08

A pup would create a big mess
And I hate to clean, I confess
Kittens are cleaner

52bright Fri 03-Apr-26 17:18:51

A pup would create a big mess
And I hate to clean, I confess
Kittens are cleaner
But can be meaner

hollysteers Fri 03-Apr-26 18:28:30

A pup would create a big mess
And I hate to clean, I confess
Kittens are cleaner
But can be meaner
From thoughts of a pup I digress.

Tomorrow I’ll walk on the beach

Rocketstop2 Fri 03-Apr-26 18:44:06

Tomorrow I’ll walk on the beach
The pier I'm hoping to reach
If I let go your hand
I'll fall in the sand

crazyH Fri 03-Apr-26 19:01:13

Tomorrow I’ll walk on the beach
The pier I'm hoping to reach
If I let go your hand
I'll fall in the sand
So I will cling on like a leech

Sounds of waves and smell of sea-air
