Today, you are unlucky |
|
and that's the way to be |
|
You know, at best, |
|
it's just a test of your tenacity |
|
Answer with a mumble |
|
That's good enough for me |
|
for I am a mumbler too |
|
So imitate the action of the tiger |
|
or imitate the action of the snail |
|
The greatest of the slouchers |
|
whispered in my ear, |
|
"Keep it in your notebooks, |
|
and keep your notebooks near" |
|
"Write that down," he said |
|
"Borrow my pen if you need |
|
for you are a sloucher too" |
|
So imitate the action of the tiger |
|
or imitate the action of the snail |
|
Snap your teeth and smile a little wider |
|
or leave behind a lovely silver trail |
