My wife said, “Let’s go dancing, it will be so neat.”
I said, “I don’t want to go prancing, I have two left feet.”
“But,” she said, “all you need to do is sway to the beat.”
“How about instead,” I suggested, “we go out and get a bite to eat?”

There is a lightness to your touch that takes my breath away.
You possess a patience I’ve never experienced from any other.
You have a voracious appetite for knowledge and a crystal clarity to your thinking.
You have an ambition for greatness and you will never settle for anything less.
Nor will I if you will have me.

I want someone or something to assuage my fear
To deliver us form this firestorm before we all disappear
And that a return our world’s natural order is near

It was not a very good year.
A long and chaotic one, I fear.
Very little about which to cheer.
No it wasn’t very much fun.
But it’s finally almost done.

I apologize but I must hurry
I really do need to scurry
Time goes by in such a flurry
So don’t you be my judge and jury
Life’s too short, so what, me worry?
