Early this morning the flags were unfurled
My hair has gone limp and it needs to be curled
Off in the distance the frat boys have hurled
They wish to be knighted but they just wound up “Earled”
I checked for my pistol it’s handle was pearled
These aren’t the things I need in my world
I want umbrellas and canes that are twirled
And a big ice cream cone with a top that’s been swirled
If you want a rainbow you have to have some rain
If you want to break some bread you’ll have to plant some grain
If you want to share a view have the guts not to obstain
If something’s needs repeating sing out that refrain
Every Street you travel doesn’t need to be the Main
Can’t carry all your worries let some go down the drain
Others need not lose just for some to gain
Understand that life is messy we’re bound to leave a stain
