Sames And Opposites

In life there are many things
Some of them are the same and some are opposites
About some of these things I do sing
A cactus is the opposite of a chair
In my house you can sit anywhere but there
especially if your ass is bare
A bird house is not the same as a bird home
one is much more comfortable for birds
These are sames and opposites my friends
which I determined
A musical is the same as a burlap sack
I would not want to be in either
A squirrel is the same as a can
when there’s a BB gun in my hand
Can’t you see that I am just a man?
With distinctions and comparisons
Spare change is the same as wedgies for me
I don’t give it unless someone’s really asking
Unless you’re at a funeral
To live is the same as to dream
If you do both long enough you’ll see
But you have to work in between
Unless you have narcolepsy
(That was a boring solo)
Earrings are the same as sneezes
Two is okay but ten in a row is annoying
If you have two then God bless you
These are sames and opposites my friends
which I have determined
A secret admirer is the same as a stalker
With stationery
An ex-girlfriend is the same as an okay movie
I liked it at the time but I don’t want to see it again
Especially if the movie was kind of a bitch
These are sames and opposites my friends
which I have determined
So far
