If Life Was Like A Musical

If Life Was Like A Musical

What if life was like a musical,

We sang and danced all day.

Sing like Mary Poppins did,

Practically perfect in every way!

#

No stress in go slow traffic queues,

If we sang to drown our moans.

Songs played from in-car stereos,

In harmony our tuneful tones.

#

As we wait in traffic standstills,

We get out and dance around.

Like in the film La La Land,

We would soon attract a crowd.

#

In classrooms children doing sums,

Burst into many songs.

Times tables like they used to be,

Learnt through sing-a-longs

#

Trips to the local supermarket,

Wouldn’t be such a chore.

If we sang and danced along the aisles,

Whilst we were in the store.

#

Tap dancing on the desktops,

To tunes from office PCs.

Factory workers on their lines,

Belt out their harmonies.

#

“All operators are busy at present”,

As the music starts to play.

On speaker phones we get to share,

The call dance for the day.

#

Then there are those in Parliament,

Who think they know it all.

Make a song and dance from everything,

Whilst in Westminster Hall.

#

Imagine how different life would be,

Come rain, wind, snow or sun.

If we lived just like a musical,

Wouldn’t life be so much fun!
