What if...

What if the clouds are cotton... we've never touched them,
What if the dark side of the moon is milky cheese... we've never been there,
What if the bottom of the ocean is strawberry juice... we've never seen it,
What if mountains are ice cream... we've never taste them,
What if we are the reflex of another planet... we never know,
What if there is a better life... we've never live it,
What if...

Smart

My dad gave me one dollar bill

'Cause i'm the 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 dont know

That three is more than two!

Just then, 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 pennies for them,

And five is more than four!

And then i went and showed my dad

And he got red in cheeks

And closed his eyes and shook his head-

Too proud of me to speak!
