Questionable Authorities
Ask the grumpy pussycat, a prisoner of war
How to be patient and never deplore
And teach her voyeuristic cat-handling master:
Buying a Persian carpet is asking for disaster
Ask the single sock, whose heart's in a mire
What its mindset is, fresh out of dryer
Bleached and washed and tidy and neat
Headed towards a life incomplete
Ask the homeless lady, a victim of our mistakes
How life is possible without cars and fruitcakes
She will bless you, too, if you take the time
To face your guilt and throw a dime
Ask the glowing sun, round and yellow
How to spread warmth, even and mellow
Without any reward or any assistance
From thankless sons who keep a distance
(about what we can learn from closer observations)
