Spirit

We grimaced, we laughed and then we cried.

The flame was lit and some would have we marched in step

But were we just postponing our miseries for two weeks

We will still be poor and we’ll still have our wars come Monday morn

So until then the world can get along without us just fine

We’ll pick up the cudgels once more on the 13th, let’s say, around 9?
