Making room

Making room

My kitchen’s full of clutter

the living room’s a mess

my mind is all a-flutter

before I’m even dressed.

I have to get up early

I have to get to work

get through this hurly-burley

my life just seems berserk!

I think I need a re-set

I sure could use some rest

I’m fed up with this pre-set

life of trial and test.

I could just get a strop on

could kick against these goads

if only I could stop on

these crazy busy roads!

The time has come to detour,

to stroll some country lanes

until I’ve come to be sure

I’m making proper gains,

and not just chasing money

or ego-centric fame,

but tasting milk and honey,

while remembering my name.
