Candy and Nuts 



To covet dreams of how you wish
That your life should have been

I must say, it's the best way
To waste the life you're in

The scorching Sun would never try
To be cool like the Moon

Nor does time resent itself
When it goes by too soon

Frogs don't play with Lincoln Logs
And cats don't like to fly

Slugs and bugs don't have high hopes
Which reach the stellar sky

It seems it's just us humanoids
Who seldom are content

So our lives we'll scrutinize
To self impose lament

People only want a change
Because we fail to see

That we'll always dream, 'what was'
'What if, and 'what should be'

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts
Then every day'd be Christmas 

Its just some candy coated lie
We tell our discontentments
