Life is Wonderful

It takes a crane to build a crane

It takes two floors to make a storie

It takes an egg to make a hen

It takes a hen to make an egg

There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word

And it takes some words to make an action

And it takes some work to make it work

It takes some good to make it hurt

It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle

Ah la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la

It takes a night to make it done

And it takes a day to make you young brother

And it takes some old to make you young

It takes some cold to know the sun

It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love

But it takes you years to know what love is

And it takes some fears to make you trust

It takes those tears to make it rust

It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound

And it takes a lost before you found it

And it takes a road to go nowhere

It takes a toll to show you care

It takes a hole to see a mountain

It's at times like these where I want to trust that the idea in this song that every bad has its good does actually work out even...

Garage Sale

GARAGE SALE


One man's trash is another man's treasure
As one woman's junk gives others pleasure.

Cash and carry, no checks or credit cards
With bargains in the driveways and signs in the yards.

Some serve hot dogs, Kool-Aid and cut-rate pop
Some fly flags and balloons to make us stop.

Some will arrive before the garage sale starts
Using their vehicles as shopping carts.

Half of all purchases are sold again
At the buyer's own sale or to a friend.

So clean out your closets and the basement too
And earn some income with no taxes due.

Load up your tables and grab a good chair
Then plug in a fan to stir up the air.

The money you make you can spend again
Shopping for yourself, loved ones or friend.

My friend Alex had a wonderful garage sale last Saturday and I seemed to have found everything very aesthetically pleasing - the clothes, the lights, the people. So, I encourage you to go, if you can, when she has another one. I'll try to remember to post here if she does or just find Alexandra Wunderlich on facebook and ask her for details. The garage is in Junomar Court, Camp Street, Gardens (right opposite Saigon parking lot, so you can park there and you should see it).

Bon Voyage xxx
