Nothing Is Certain.

Wallowing in a sea of thoughts

That splash upon my head.

Seems the storm is over

And I can go back to bed.

 

Nothing like a sea that's rough,

To keep you floating high.

From all that i've swallowed,

And that's plenty, I tell you no lie.

 

Wake me in the morning,

That is if I'm not dead.

Never can tell for certain,

Till the morning papers I've read.

Just so you don't read your own obituary in the morning papers! Now that would be a real shock. Makes me glad that I don't read the paper in the morning.

Good read George and I am happy to say I woke up this morning to be able to read it.
Plus, I'm thankful my brain is still working enough to be able to read it.
