All The Animals In My Neighborhood Apparently Agree
Sanity, If It Was Ever Mine, Has Now Completely Left Me.
A Red Fox So Sweetly Whispered In My Ear,
-ŗsomething Has Got To Change For You, Dear.-
Twelve Geese Gave Up Flying And Paraded Through My Garden,
Honking For My Attention And Begging My Pardon,
-Å—susie! Wake Up! Time Is Ticking -— Don-‘t Tarry! -,
They Looked At Me Sadly And Then Sampled A Berry.
The Rabbit And His Family Who Were Feeding On Bean Plants,
Agreed With The Dozen Geese And Continued Their Rants,
-ŗwe Were Speaking To The Deer As They Ate Your Fine Tomatoes.-
-Å—they Were Saying You-‘ve Lost Your Self. Are There Any Red Potatoes? -
They Continued With The Gossip, Telling Me About The Rumors,
From Wilkin-‘s Cows Down The Road, How I-‘ve Lost All My Humor,
I-‘ve Been Spotted Sleeping Outside On An Old Trampoline,
Talking To The Hummingbirds And Sniffing Gasoline!
-ŗi Completely Deny Sniffing Anything! - I Complain,
-ŗthe Birds Are My Friends, - And I Try To Explain,
But The Animals Are Knowing, And They Look At Me Kindly,
As My Tears Begin To Fall, They Gather Round Me Fondly,
-ŗlife Is Short, Life Is Long, Life Is Cruel, Life Is Gentle, -
-ŗtake What You Need, Give What You Can, Always Grow, Never Settle.-
As They Left, I Turned Around And In The Field Still Watching,
The Little Fox Tapped His Wrist, And Cried, -Å—susie, Time Is Wasting
