safe and sound

what would happen if I took the day off

call in sick to work

stayed in bed with pillows under my head

would I be considered a jerk

drink hot coffee

surf the internet

not thinking about anything

I'd like to forget

I'm sure something can happen

but it hasn't happened yet

I'm safe and sound

what would happen if I refused to work

would I be a welfare case

all those days with nothing to say

I would like them all erased

I think about the things

that I could get done

with no deadline ahead

I could be number one

if there are worries

I can't think of one

I'm safe and sound

what would happen if life was good

would it be bad for my writing

or would it be great to appreciate

a life that is fun and exciting

all of my problems

I'd put on the shelf

or I'd give them away

to somebody else

there's no one I'd rather be

than myself

I'm safe and sound
