I took off three days back in ‘72
To try and figure out
This thing with women and men
Course I went shopping for a few hours
Before reading a couple of chapters
In my favorite mystery
And then there was that album
I always meant to listen to
And I hadn’t called my mom in a while
I had a cake to bake
And a floor to wax
And a couple of chores to do
But I did manage to put in a minute or two
The way I meant to do
And in those few minutes
Of that last day
Just before bedtime
While I brushed my teeth
I figured it out
Hope you do too
