Walk in the park

Shall I compare thee

To the humble bumble bee

So round and big and small and fuzzy 

buzzing around 

Haphazardly 

From 

(What's the inside of a flower called?

I hope it rhymes with e)

With 

so many flowers to pick from

so many bees to be

Big old bumble bee

So rich in your realm feeling

Somehow still 

a little lonely

Somehow still

a little hopeless

Somehow still 

so very sorry

Flitting around 

Trying to find

That which makes nectar so tasty


Or are you more akin 

to the moorhen

picking

around

down in the ground

For that tasty morsel

Mixture of grass and 

(How do I rhyme worm with morsel?

Wormsel?)

A moorhen might know

Waddling around 

Worm in tow


Isn't it beautiful

Isn't life wonderful

Ah! But life knows itself so well

Gazing in the puddle

Let it tell:

The sun shining its’ brightest

The birds singing their very best

Life is good it really is

When you can just 

stop thinking it really feels

Magical

Sweet sweet nectar 


You want it all

You want it all so badly

Peaceful stillness mind empty

How you long to just be

Do you know how to be

Do you know what to be

And didn't you know now dear

Not even the worms are worthless?


You're alright now, you're okay really

You just

Have so much love it hurts and

Why does your heart break so easily 

Is it true now what your Fortune teller said

Love line cracked and broken and 

You were always going to lose

Or did she just 

see you in her mirror as she said it

You'll never know for sure 

Isn't that the trickiest of tricky

When it should all be so easy

To just try and 

be


All this navel gazing

Can't be good for you

Though not to be helped

With that navel staring 

right back up at you


So go on, give it a whirl

Be like the bumble bee, my pet

Be like the moorhen, my love

Be like the worms for all I care, just

Keep your chin up

And head held high

(Can worms keep their chin up?

Do they even have one?)

They don't care

Not really

They just go on

So go on now, hen

Give it a go now, love 

Bless –

If the worms can do it

Surely you can too.
