In private quarters our neurosis grows
and these are the blues which everyone knows
when a full-length mirror inevitably shows
the humiliation of trying on clothes.
NASA thought they closed the deal
but lunar lunacy would soon reveal
that a detrimental moment was hard to conceal
when Neil Armstrong slipped on a banana peel.
Mick and Keith were not alone.
Charlie was down to skin and bone.
Ronnie couldn’t hear the ringing phone
but Methuselah was still the oldest Stone!
Socrates and Plato filled the gap.
Kant and John Locke took another lap
but modern-day thinking received a slap
when current philosophy was embraced by rap.
“No problem” is what they all say.
“No problem” each and every day.
“No problem” it will work out fine
as long as you don’t make that problem mine.
