The Toy Matinee |
What are we doing today? |
Some serious thoughts I could weigh |
A fish or a mountain to scale |
I’m a slow-burning man |
But always too faithful to choose |
With minor persuade, I’ll join the parade instead |
And play with the toys in my mind gone away |
And laugh at the cheapness, the toy matinee |
The orchestra tunes to an A below |
The overture builds to a vertigo |
And everyone’s holding their breath |
The show has begun |
The shepherd of pettiness winks |
The audience loves what he thinks |
Peanuts for all in the house |
We’re so easy to please, please |
Pleas from the crowd to go on |
Waltzing away, a mindless array instead |
Take a slap in the face from the toys of the day |
While everyone watches the toy matinee |
And play with the toys in my mind gone away |
While everyone watches the toy matinee |
