random things

random things

the blue bird sings

random

odds and ends

such things

odd and outa place

happenings

ocean’s deep

never sleeps

fish keep

keep

keep

keepin’ on

night and daylight long

monkey wrench

makes no sense

to the dyslexic elephant

crosses of ashes

signed on foreheads

of believers

for lent

bobby pins bent

to keep the curl

on the head

of the girl

weird world

say hey

any other day

sunshine or rain

the pauper complains

wheels turn

butter’s churned

who in hell explains

preacher don’t know

the blue whale blows

anything goes

after the rent is paid

dumb found its place

smiling on your face

can’t you see, man

it’s you not me disgraced

there is a time for everything

right time

wrong time

mean time

a time for song

a time to sing

bluebird

he don’t know no better

ain’t no law of the letter

that is why

because

because

because

there ain’t no cause

to wonder

random no matter

that’s why the bluebird sings

hush up your mouth

and listen

only two can tango

a bouquet of red roses

ain’t no rhyme sometimes

sometimes ain’t no reason

random things

the bluebird sings
