Donut July ‘06

Gee, this treadmill’s not for me

Free’s what I was meant to be

Bono says, “What can we do

To free the world from poverty?”

I would ask, “what can we do

To free the rich from their misery?”

Cast your jewels into the river,

Watch them sparkle, watch them glitter

In colors you have never seen

Aaah, stop making such a fuss!

Less is sometimes more,

More sometimes less

Jesus didn’t have a church, a house,

no place to lay his head

So why do we all think

We need a golden king size feather bed?

Go on, build your barns

& make them bigger

for your 15-digit figures

you must leave here when you’re gone

Gone.

Thanks, Bill Gates, for what you’ve done!

You could even make a tiny contribution

For this song!

I don’t have to envy you

As I’m sure you don’t envy me

After all, we’re all in the same boat,

Big Brother, you & me

Except I won’t have to stoop as low

To get back to reality

The reality that happiness

Is merely the ability

To enjoy things that money just won’t buy

A chirping bird, a sunny sky,

To see the donut, not the hole
