“Everything
Everywhere
by Everyone –
seems to be so ‘lurkingly negative’ !!!
–
So ‘bums-rushing’ –
So ‘stultifying’ – “
————-
Yet we ‘lucky-English’ do have some historical ‘remedies’ –
one of which is ‘simple-singing’ :-
4/4 time:
“One finger, one thumb, keep moving – (repeat repeat) – and we’ll all be merry and bright”
3/4 time:
“Row, row, row your boat – Gently down the stream –
Merrily merrily merrily merrily – Life is but a Dream -”
Very slow 4/4 time:
“Dream (2, 3, 4 – 1) when you’re feeling Blue (2, 3, 4, 1, 2,3, 4)
Dream (2, 3, 4, 1) – that’s the thing to do (2, 3, 4,1 ,2 ,3 ,4)
Dream (2, 3, 4, 1) Imagine smoke-rings rising in the air (2, 3, 4) –
You’ll find yourself (2,3) – Not needing to stare –
So –
[repeat from the beginning, and make up your own words or ending]”

Recite
“What is this life if full of care –
We have no time to stop – and stare ?
No time to stand beneath the boughs –
And gaze – as long as sheep or cows –
A poor life this when full of care
We have no time to stand – and stare”
