Kit Kelen #1023 - if only everyone could play

1023

if only everyone could play

this world would what?

who can say?

revolve, lilt, rhumba

cha cha on

you wouldn’t know until it was

gone around and dizzy

let’s all play dizzies, don’t we?

presidents and high court judges

all smiling, all laughing

with not-a-serious-thing to say

after all, this is the month of Sundays

today it’s Bush Week all day

you can tell because

everyone’s having fun

principals practical with jokes

played upon whole schools for fish

why’s a shark all smiles, for instance?

and countries, kings

straight-faced just for a punch line

a little slapstick, over we go

kaleidoscopes for spectacles

this whole world’s upside down

the news is non-stop jokes

all of us are just taking the piss

so hang a big question mark over the city

suppress a smile but only so long

raking it in – picture a few old

curmudgeonly pricks

Frolic & Gay, your firm of solicitors

up to their very old tricks

pilots ready to dive, and why?

they do it for a joke

the tax office is a non-stop party

they have the means, you know

angels tease and tickle heaven

there’s a nice hot bath in hell below

to work to the top of your game

is pure play

and it’s always fun to fall

that’s why mice are cheesy with grin

they’ll eat soap if that’s all there is

and they take it on the chin

some of us have too many toys

can’t play with all at once

and many of us, do it with ourselves

with cocks and clits and cunts

hey, and it’s great to be gay

or be straight or whoever you are

a fart is always funny too

you’ll need some more fuel

or you’ll run out of car

kookaburras do it, bees do it too

web first a spider

will chuckle down flies

everyone knows without knowing

that has to be for the best

look at the sun

and once it went round us

that was a lark

then the earth was flat too

but we had it all wrong

let me sing you a song

you have to make fun of yourself

there’s nothing that’s better for your health

every insect’s up to it

look at them laughing

flower to flower – busy with

all a part of their business model

if only everyone would play

we’d get a better job done

we’d all of us do a lot better this way
