thoughts on a cloudy day


by horace p sternwall



rich people have more money than poor people

beautiful people are better looking than ugly people

young people are younger than old people

and don’t know what it was like

how about you?

do you know what it was like?

you can’t get there from here

well, maybe you can, you can try it

but don’t say i didn’t warn you

some days it rains

some days it shines

some days it doesn’t pay to get out of bed

it’s a long road that has no turning

you can’t fight city hall

but you can throw the rascals out

it’s time for a change

a new day is coming

you heard it here first

but don’t get your hopes up

the clock is ticking

they don’t make them like they used to

they said it couldn’t be done

they could be right, they could be wrong

a broken watch tells the right time twice a day

that’s all for now

my name is joe

but tell them jack sent you

don’t mention my name

i think your mother is calling you

she wants you to shine her army boots

and so’s your old man

that’s all for now

i already said that, didn’t i?
