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!
