MOSTLY CLOUDY...
with rain showers likely.

Yeah, that’s what the weather dude said.
But it didn’t matter too much
for my brain was already dead
and numb to the prospects of the day.
So I sent the weather reporter away
with a wave of my magic wand
and said

"No way,
I am only accepting
sunshine and blue skies,
daffodils and whipporwills
and maybe even some cheap thrills
underneath the mountaintop
I see from my windowsills"

And maybe, just maybe
I’ll take a fast train to
New Orleans and pretend

it’s Fat Tuesday even on Monday

or perhaps the carnival is in town,
and I’m on a free ride
spinning ‘round and ‘round
and then...
all of a sudden
I realize
the sky IS falling
and I come crashing to the ground.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

LOL, yes, and sometimes all you can do is throw that ringing thing at the wall.
