2020 just telling it like it is
I have to tell the story
of 22 straight rainy days
And coping with 2020
Yes, all of the ways
Many dives into the Oslo fjord
It’s not totally insane
If you do it enough
You’ll feel pleasure not pain
It’s something else to do
In the dark without clothes
I’m sharing it you know
Not everyone knows
The things you can do to escape covid and Trump
When the sun has vanished
And you’re in a bit of a slump
Not all is cancelled or lost
Some things are good fun
And don’t have much cost
Life’s still good
If you’re under 13
If you like to ski on ice
And you like to be mean
If you like pushing Rose off the Titanic in Roblox
And dropping your pants. Yeah. Not just your socks
If it wasn’t attached, you might lose your head
I’ll say it 50x, would you please go to bed?
Doesn’t matter if it’s pants, a sock, or a glove
Could you show your brother just a little bit of love?
Leaving trails of clothes in so many places
Joking and pranking just to see faces
The thrill of reactions ever so priceless
I’ll try to stay patient for kindness and niceness
Until then, I’ll play with stories and words
And make the best and the most
Of the random and absurd
For people that fall asleep in the shower and wear shorts on their head
If you get what I mean from everything that I’ve said
I bought presents from youwish dot n-o
I wish they were for me
I’m just letting you know
For the warriors and heroes
Let there be arrows and bows
For fighting dragons and hydras
And life’s highs and life’s lows
For those that add milk to their chocolate
Beyond reasonable proportion
And expect cookies for dinner
Through bribes and extortion
Whenever you feel not exactly unencumbered
Just remember who I live with
And I’m always outnumbered
My sweet dreams are definitely made of cheese
Or an island in the sun with wind and with breeze
At the end of the day when I’m tired of the teasing
I’ll vent to the wise owl and the true voice of reason
For training and advice for a sunsetter future hockey season
More random and absurd nonsense and strange places one pees in
I think he might still be with me when it comes to the freezing
Then if I seize a moment to be with my true north star
His office is downstairs. It’s not really that far
When I steal a chance to be alone but still together
Without the jokers on our dirty sofa that’s made of brown leather
We could pretend to have sun and sand and good weather
But instead we’ll watch Puckers or Arctic explorers
We like ice and darkness and vodka for scorers
I know I’m not crushing it when it comes to domestic life
I can imagine how much it sucks to have me for a wife
I suck so supermuch at homeschooling and cooking
And I’m not getting any younger and not better looking
Even though I’m older, I’m still doing stupid shit
I might do it a little slower but I’m not gonna quit
Must we always be so responsible and serious?
When it’s so much more fun to laugh and be delirious
With best friends, third wheels, without the sons or daughters
We have our connection with darkness and the saltwaters
The real secret to be told is that the rush is not for gold
Where the real magic happens is in saltwater that’s cold
The world would be a much better place if we all took the dive
And did things for each other that make us feel alive
Like the moments when talking to strangers
Those kinds of things are really game changers
In 2021, there will always be things that are wrong or go faulty
But if you want to stay happy . . .
Stay safe and stay salty
