Imagine...

No not like John Lennon...

Or Gal Gadot...

Imagine...

You had

Only one day

To say

Everything

You wanted to do or say

But had never made

The time to do or say

-

Would you

Spend the day,

Going out of your way

To be (righteously) cruel

To all who wronged you

To all who

Upset and hurt you

Or would you stay

Calm and keep ill words to your self

Afterall

what would be the point in

giving others ill health

In some half-baked revenge plot

If you would not even be there?

Would you instead use the time

To understand the reason or rhyme

why those people wronged you

Perhaps you would jump off a building

or lie with a python

or a whole pit of pythons

Maybe you'd visit the people you love

The ones that know you best

Cry the tears

Laugh

Love

Or none of the above

Would you dance

the Time Warp or

Write that novel you've always put off

-

If

If you have any ideas

Of what you might do or say

Why wait until you have one day?

You can dance the Time Warp

You can write that novel

You can lie with pythons

You can set people straight

You can tell and show people you love them

Any day, any time

-

Don't waste time, putting things off (as I did)
