If you fail to listen
eventually you have to understand
For the embarrassment of not getting it
gets way out of hand
And If you see people laughing
and you missed the bloody joke
laugh along like there’s a gas
because you’ll find it very woke
If you fail to listen
eventually you have to understand
For the embarrassment of not getting it
gets way out of hand
And If you see people laughing
and you missed the bloody joke
laugh along like there’s a gas
because you’ll find it very woke
Start writing…
I didn’t bother with much of a title but I started writing as you can see
But I’ve forgotten how to write, or rather I think it’s forgotten me
Start writing…
Next to the damn curser, every new fricken line, start writing, start writing… but how to finish cleverly this time…
…stop writing.
