If I was an Iguana

If I was an Iguana
I think I'd live in a sauna
I'd heat up my bones and I'd put down my phones
And I go out and vote for Obama

If I was an opossum,
I really think I'd be awesome
I would play with a stick and I'd do a great trick
And I'd show everyone how I toss'em

If I was a sly mearcat,
I'd earn my way as an acrobat
I'd star in the show and then back home I'd go
To the space that I currently live at

If I was a cold ice cube
I'd pretend that I was a cool dude
I'd stay out of the sun and when work is all done
I'd go and watch me on YouTube

The world is suddenly small

The world is suddenly small
I think there is zoom and that's all
There's no where to go and there's nothing to see and there's nobody out there to call

The world is suddenly hush
And nobody's in a rush
Just want to play in the thrush

The world is suddenly wild
No longer subdued and quite mild
No longer the world where folks smiled

The world today is afraid
When yesterday we were brave
I need someone who can lead us, someone who will all us save

The world today is all gray
My father was here yesterday
Now he is gone and still life moves along and there's nothing to do now but pray

Zoomed out - Corona

I've decided from today I won't go zoom zoom zoom
I don't care yes I don't care if I can't touch the moon
Don't want to be there soon

Don't want to hear the little bees buzzing zoom zoom zoom
It makes me think how life has changed into a great big gloom
I can't go to the playground I must stay here in my room

Before corona virus in an ordinary Spring
We'd all be in the playground and be making so much din
The memory makes me grin

And I've got so much time (that's great!) I don't go to my school
I now have so much freedom to not obey the rules
This is what I had dreamed of... but somehow, it's not that cool

So this year its unfortunate that Corona's all about
It just not fair I want to swear I really want to shout
Rather than zoomed in to life right now I'm totally zoomed out
