Did you ever sing a song at karaoke?
or ride a raft on a river rapid?
did you ever get to see a spectacular rainbow?
and wander where they came from?
did you ever leave your house in your slippers?
did you ever see a water spout?
did you ever jump in a rain puddle?
like a five-year-old child?
did you ever taste a Knickerbocker glory?
or sit your bottom on a helter skelter slide?
did you dip your feet in the waves of spring?
did you ever get to stroke a magnificent barn owl?
did you ever climb a mountain, just to ski down in the sun?
what about steering a speed boat
or for charity do a marathon run?
did you finish first at the town hall fate
the egg and spoon holder race?
did you ever feel an earthquake under your feet?
did you ever feel the wind sweep through your hair?
questions I know, that will never be answered…
as I sit here imagining a sea of Lilly\'s of the valley
I sit here, I sit here and I weep.
