Advice is a strange thing

Went for a walk in central park
Dog looked at me, and tilted his head
Do you know what he said to me?

“Drink your beer drink your rum
Truth is here, truth will come
Find it in the empty glass”

Crossed a field and climbed a gate,
A sheep ran directly to me
It looked at me and said

“I am god look at me
I have travelled the seven seas
Leave me now I am lamb”

Left the sheep and entered a forest
Bumped into a tree
And he frankly said to me

“Black and white don’t exist
shades of grey corrupt us all
open your mind be free inside”

Walked over a bridge
Where a fish jumped up at me
Singing loud for all to hear

“Love is hard love is good
love yourself love the world
life is short passing you by”

Crossed the bridge crossed a road
Birds flew overhead
Shouting down at me

“You may be good you may be bad
you can change with every breath
someone loves us all”

Walked home to my little flat
And lay in my double bed
Thinking of the moral of the day

“Good advice is a strange thing
Listen to all you are given
But remember sheep will always be thick!”
