The Whole Wide World
Patrick Cannell © 2024
As the general leads his army up the hill
The particulars are missing from the bill.
As the over-archer's drawing back his bow
The particulars are hiding in the snow.
And the whole wide world goes 'round and 'round,
All in search of solid ground,
'Cause in reality there's only you and me.
As the generalizer tunes his t.v. set,
Will we see the picture? that I wouldn't bet.
And the whole wide world goes 'round and 'round,
All in search of solid ground,
'Cause in reality
As the whole wide world darts to and fro,
Chasing rainbows through the snow,
'Cause in reality there's only you and me.
