I was listening to one of my favorite old tunes today and I started thinking- of all the American time periods i would like to relive in modern times, the depression is quite low on that list. Generally just not a real fun time for anyone. Lower on the list would be the Civil war, and the first ice age. I'm no economist, but it feels like we are teetering on the brink of bottom-falling-out disaster. It's not so bad to be without money and to love things in life that aren't made of plastic and glass- it's just so hard when you are taught to save your whole life, but a tank of gas takes up half your paycheck. When necessities are affordable but depressingly so.... well, it blows.
Just around the corner,
There's a rainbow in the sky,
So let's have another cup of coffee,
And let's have another piece of pie.
Trouble's like a bubble,
And the clouds will soon roll by,
So let's have another cup of coffee,
And let's have another piece of pie.
Let a smile be your umbrella,
For it's just an April shower,
Even John D. Rockefeller
Is looking for the silver lining!
Mr. Herbert Hoover
Says that now's the time to buy,
So let's have another cup of coffee,
And let's have another piece of pie!
