Take a 2-day weekend, whad-a-ya got?

Nothin’ but a slave’s life & a soul full o’ rot

Now take 4 days, that’s what the Hopi used to sing

they always waited 4 days before they’d do anything

~

Now! go ahead, take a 4-day weekend

Whad-a-ya got? Whad-a-ya got, my gay meek friend?

Now you can sit in the desert for 4 peaceful days

that’s how long it takes for the critters to get used to your ways

~

You can commune & grow with nature & rub up to God again

read a little bit, stand up and streeeeeeeatch your grin

but don’t go out there twirling around on your funny toys

you’ll just wreck the land & make too much God-less noise

~

So, a 4-day weekend is what I brilliantly propose

instead of a 2-day weekend that just stuffs-up your nose

yes, right away, let’s send this proposal to Washington D.C.

& everything will be right again in this, our Valley of Democracy
