You grab your dagger and I'll grab my heart
And when we collide
We can sit together
And witness this heart's last beat
And when the beat has expired
You can weep this loss you just gained

When you reach for the stars you might not get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either!

SMART! :P

My dad gave me one dollar bill
'Cause I'm his smartest son,
And I swapped it for two shiny quarters
'Cause two is more than one!

And then i took the quarters
And traded them to Lou
For three dimes-i guess he don't know
that three is more than two!

Just them, along came old blind Bates
And just 'cause he can't see
He gave me four nickels for my three dimes,
And four is more than three!

And i took the nickels to Hiram Coombs
Down at the seed-feed store,
and the fool gave me five pennies for them,
And five is more than four!

And then i went and showed my dad,
and he got red in the cheeks
And closed his eyes and shook his head-
Too proud of me to speak!

Instead of holding on to the Biblical view that we are made in the image of God, we come to realize that we are made in the image of the monkey! :)
