Maybe Next Time You'll Listen
father time looked over his shoulder,
the knuckles of his hands turning white
"don't let me have to stop this earth
and get out and come back there"
man rolled his eyes making faces
behind father time's back
"don't think I don't see you and know what
you're doing. Just wait til I get you home"
"just wait til I get you home" imitated man
crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue
time swerved the earth
a cup of ocean spilled out of man's plastic cup
causing a vast tsunami over japan
man began to cry
father time said,
"Yes...boohoo...boohoo...
maybe next time you'll listen"
the knuckles of his hands turning white
"don't let me have to stop this earth
and get out and come back there"
man rolled his eyes making faces
behind father time's back
"don't think I don't see you and know what
you're doing. Just wait til I get you home"
"just wait til I get you home" imitated man
crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue
time swerved the earth
a cup of ocean spilled out of man's plastic cup
causing a vast tsunami over japan
man began to cry
father time said,
"Yes...boohoo...boohoo...
maybe next time you'll listen"
