Worry

It doesn't help to worry
every moment of the day.
What's going to happen
is going to happen any way.

Breathe in breathe out
let the tension seep out
Know that you've done your best
beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It doesn't help to worry
every moment of the day.
What's going to happen
is going to happen any way.

Sadly not everybody
can be who you expect
It can lead to disappointment
It will make you upset

But it doesn't help to worry
every moment of the day.
What's going to happen
is going to happen any way.

Don't let the insidiousness of others
ruin every moment of your life
We're here for far too short  a time
to exist in daily strife.

Because it doesn't help to worry
every moment of the day.
What's going to happen
is going to happen any way.

The Plunger

Nineteen years and never a worry

even when coming and going in a hurry

Do your business, flush and get out;

Worked like a charm

with never a doubt.

Nineteen years and now at this juncture

in my bathroom I have need of a plunger.

What do men do in that tiny white bowl

that makes the porcelain gods

act like common trolls?

Back up and over flow

Were not on my agenda

but that was the new plan 

at my hacienda.

Nineteen years now there's this crisis

please someone give me the power of Isis

I need to remember there are bumps in the road

I need to remember my humble abode

Is now home to two

who do what they do

I can't control it all

No matter how I try

situations happen

That I cannot deny

I can't control it all

No matter how I try

Since this isn't Highlander

then no one has to die.

Nineteen years of on my own

Now I am not living all alone

Deal and then get over it

It's just some plastic on a stick.
