Question
To think or not to think, that is the question.
But every question doesn’t have an answer.
If I may be permitted the suggestion:
Too much anxiety can give you cancer.
Best cultivate a calm, uncluttered mind.
Don’t read the papers and avoid all news
On radio or TV. I think you’ll find
Life runs more smoothly if you don’t have views.
The Middle-Eastern crisis? Don’t ask me, mate.
And Climate Change? I haven’t got a clue.
Likewise the Euro and the British rebate
Or is it opt-out? Long ago I knew.
My general ignorance is just the ticket
For all discussions on the Wealth of Nations.
I’ll eat and drink and smoke and watch the cricket
And leave it to the coming generations.
In depth discussions with my life-trainer, a Mr Gwynn, reveal this new version.
Question
To think or not to think, that is the question.
But every question doesn’t have an answer.
If I may be permitted one suggestion:
Too much anxiety can give you cancer.
Best cultivate a calm, uncluttered mind now.
Don’t read the papers, shun all broadcast news
And never argue politics. You’ll find how
Life runs more smoothly if you don’t have views.
Opinions on the Middle-East. Not me, mate?
World Climate Change? I haven’t got a clue.
Likewise the Euro and the British rebate.
Or is it opt-out? Long ago I knew.
My general ignorance is just the ticket
For all discussions on the Wealth of Nations.
I’ll eat and drink and smoke and watch the cricket
And leave it to the coming generations.
