Wings And Things

try new things,
you'll see what's what
things long forgotten
here, give it some thought

go fly kite
or sail a boat
make a wish
or an ice cream float

go climb a tree
and if you can't
then plant a seed
just grow a plant

go learn to dance
kick up a heel
or learn words to a song
you don't know still

clear out some junk
that you never touch
go move that thing
clear out that stuff

walk down the street
out in the rain
make neighbors wonder
if you've gone insane

don't go to bed
stay up all night
read a whole book
'till the morning light

go climb a hill
up to the top
then be darn proud
how far you got

call a friend
not seen in a while
they'll sure be glad
it'll make them smile

or take a trip
to someplace new
not very far
just do it for you

write a poem
or make up a song
if it comes from you
it can't be wrong

now you've come this far
don't sit and pout
let's keep going
don't give up now

'cause there's lots of things
that I haven't mentioned
like a chocolate flavored
bolonga sandwich

or try a new dish
like a broccoli pie
with bananas on top
and whipped cream on the side

or ice cream for breakfeast
and candy for lunch
you'll have a  sugar high
but only this once

see, trying new things
won't hurt a bit
and if they did
you'll get over it

so if you're tired
of the same old things
then spread your wings
and try new things
