I've been....

...overcome with speechlessness, and an empty brain,
they got washed away yesterday, in the little rain;
truth be told, and I guess it should,
I'm sitting here thinking nothing any good.

So I guess I'll have to struggle, to pull the off,
it's so bad right now, I heard the rooster cough!
The critter ought to crow, well it is a little early,
nope, he just walked away, he is a bit surly.

I got up on time, and went through my routine,
but my brain is the dullest, I think I've ever seen;
the damn thing was okay, it didn't stop all night,
had me trapped under a car, that gave me a fright.

I don't know why I was in there, looking for an escape,
dreams are funny that way, they just take the bait;
then leave you empty of many of the results,
the only thing they sometimes leave is a quickened pulse.

So there it is, just take what you want,
that's all I have to offer, hope I don't affront;
I'm sure I'll progress as the day moves on,
really think I'd better, but won't water the lawn.

I'll go and push some buttons, while I remember that,
pick out all the colors, reading, cancer, cat;
rain forest, and hunger - worthy causes all,
let us keep up our support, don't want them to fall.

And please Keep It Simple, that's a worthy phrase,
it's also very meaningful, and it ofter pays...
..to heed those very easy words too,
it certainly applies to guys like me and you.

Keep It Simple
