Today

I am the stop sign of serious
You people been to oblivious
It's time to let loose
It's time to be curious
let go of your excuse

The woman in front of me in the line
I'd say was at least a nine
I recited a sonnet
She thought it was cute but said "no I'm fine"
I walked away from that brunette

My friends die from laughter
That I tried to chase after
I'm glad that they laugh
I have nothing to regret from hereafter
But it feels as I've been hit by a giraffe

They do not speak of fun and jokes
Pretty sure soon they'll die from strokes
It's time they have fun
They are too serious of folks
Maybe I'll buy them a water gun

I'm rifling through the pockets in my mind
pretty soon I'll be outta time
To show you how to live
When I'm gone look at my rhymes
And I'll arrive

I played Icarus in my school play
That was such an awful display
I probably was the worst
But did I astray
No, I went in head first

Inside the old box
Nothing but blocks and rocks
But give it to a child
He'll be as free as a fox
You'll never see a bigger smile
