THAT'S THE SPIRIT

Should we refuse to wake up

Till the Department of Deadlines has left town

Should we send Schedules & Such on a sabbatical

Then turn the file of If-Only upside down

Should we chuck our Unresolved Issues

Into the deep sea of Never Found

Should we dig into a jar of Seemingly Worthless

And come up with a cookie called Hang Around

Should we sight a rainbow called Distant Hope

And chase a cloud that's labelled Someday

Should we eat from a buffet called Lazy Humour

While listening to a record called Idle Play

Should we lace each drink with Sweet Surrender

And smoke up rings of Fatal Attraction

Should we go down a lane called Small Wonders

And stop for tea at Honest Reaction

Or should we wake up and take a Breath of Brimful

And make sense of Life, as we see it

For it's only when you blend the Real with the Dreamy
That you find a drink named That's The Spirit.
