Why, oh why, must we fight so?
Over stupid things, like peanut butter
Who cares about peanut butter?
When there are way more important things
To be fighting for and against.
Why, oh why, must we see only badness?
When there is so much good in the world.
The bus isn’t ALWAYS late, it just seems that way.
And people aren’t ALWAYS horrible…
Between you and me,
I know a lot more nice people than mean ones.
Why, oh why, do we hate so fast?
When it’s so much better to accept love
(Only sometimes, of course!)
Must we always dwell on what we don’t like?
Don’t we have better things to think about?
Why, oh why, would we wish the rain away
When it makes the trees and flowers grow?
You could simply make the most of it
Laugh, and embrace its fall, spread joy
To people who are grumpy and ill-tempered
Why, oh why, don’t we take time
To do crazy things, like when we were five?
Take a day off from work, buy a hundred roses
And give them out to strangers!
Make somebody’s day better, believe me,
They won’t forget it.
Why, oh why…?
