The Plot

Under a tree
Out of the Sun
A place to rest from a world far gone

Happiness comes to those that wait
Don’t take your own
Or your’s you won’t get
Dividing the goods
Not like Christmas at all
More like a garage sale of the dead

More forms than tax time
More certificates than tying the knot
More 'how ya doings?' than you ever get
More “I’m sorry’s” than you’d ever want

Under a tree
Out of the sun
A place to rest from a world far gone

Maybe 'better off'
Is the way to put it
Free from the binds
That’d hold down a giant

Under a tree
Having somе fun
Away from the hate
Of a world far gone
