whilst you can be the life and soul
kick off your shoes and dance
sometimes you have to retreat to your hole
and heal yourself in a trance

you have big doubts you took the right path
and you’re not fully using your talents
sometime you cry, sometimes you laugh
it’s hard to find the right balance

one day you’re up, the next you’re down
but generally speaking you cope
gritting your teeth on the merry-go-round
you’ve tied yourself to with a rope

I’m getting that somebody recently died?
your grandmother?! Well – she’s HERE!
she’s waving to you from the other side
she says smile and persevere

Oh! That’s cute! There’s a little dog, too!
A name beginning with S?
She hated dogs? Hmm. I wonder who…
A ghostly stray I guess

I’m afraid that’s where I must call it a day
(ghosts can make you queasy)
I hope I’ve been able to help in some way
(debit or BACS – I’m easy)
