The Pondering Pedestrian
One day I thought I'd take a walk,
So on that day I walked and thought.
I thought about the times we'd talk,
We talked about the life we sought.
A thoughtful life where we'd be proud,
And proudly go throughout the days.
Those days we thought to sing out loud,
About our thoughtful loving ways.
We'd sing a song and dance together,
And we danced and sang in every town.
I thought that it would last forever,
Until that day I let her down.
It happened in a gorgeous city,
When a gorgeous woman caught my eye.
It happened though and though a pity,
I thought I'd never make her cry.
But cry she did, it broke her heart;
And turned my lover's heart to stone.
That fateful day our love would part,
That's how I wound up all alone...
Then on a stone, I stubbed my toe.
It hurt so bad, I thought I'd cuss.
This walk I thought would help me grow,
I think next time I'll take the bus.
