They say
I know what they say…I spread myself too thin
They say I should finish what I labored to begin
When I start another, they say I won’t complete it
The ones that always say this, hardly ever read it
They say they aren’t just speaking of all the things I’m writing
What about the water towers, and the Angels I keep sighting
They say I have too many crowns to sit on my thick head
You only wear one at a time? That’s not what Queen E. said
They say the rabbits in my house keep on multiplying
Now it’s new clothes for them they say I keep on buying
Speaking of old things, of which we were not
They say this is another thing of which I am besot
They say I should stop buying things..they want me to confess
I spend far too much money at the Goodwill store no less
They say they’re grateful I’ve dropped one thing from my life
I forgot until they said this, I never mention Barney Fife.
They say they’ve noticed all the dolls I have been collecting
They say they know I sneak them in when no one is suspecting
They say I’ve lost the battle, and the war they too will win
But Mom always said… You can’t be too rich or too thin.
