A Day in My Life

A Day in My Life

I drove my car today oh, boy

Around the rocky spires in the rain

The sound of thunder shook the air

Lightening struck and caused an avalanche

But I just kept driving with my wipers on.

I read a poem at Carnegie oh, boy

The audience just couldn’t get enough;

A sold out show, I was the star,

The papers would all give me rave reviews…

If only I had booked the show.

I broke in that night.

I skipped a stone out in the lake oh, boy

It must have got more fish than with the pole.

The activists said I was harsh

To kill so many innocents –

The next day there was an oil spill.

I guess I proved them wrong.

It seems the day has passed oh, boy

A lifetime’s spanned out for a fly

Children were born while others died

Money was made, but more was took

I wish the sun, just might have shined

But it’s too clouded with our thoughts.

Perhaps our brains need cap and trade.

- Inspired by the Beatles, A Day in the Life
