A TREE FELL ON MY HEAD
Seems like everywhere I go lately, a big tree falls on top of me
From the time I get up in morning, till the time I go to bed
They batter me and bruise me now every day is a dread.
Why do all the trees in the world want to fall on top of my head?
This morning as I lay there as flat as can be
Recouping from another timber blizzard
Wow I must a took a blow to the head
because as I turned my head there before me
Stood a little green lizard
He held up a sign that said,
I sell insurance
Sign here on the dotted line
and I’ll move that tree off you
Of that you have my assurance.
I turned my head the other way
And there knelt a caveman, badly needing deodorant spray
He said, I sell insurance too
Sign right here, on the dotted line
and I will move that tree for you
I shut my eyes and tried to play dead
When two great big hands slid under my head
A deep mellow voice then said to me
Don’t these hands feel better than that ground?
These hands can easily move that tree
And guarantee to always be around
Just sign right on the dotted line
And before the ink dries you’ll be just fine
Said I to the three, how can I sign
When the tree has broken both hands of mine
Set me free and give me some time
So I can read each and every line
I watched them all turn and go away
Then saw a tiny little general
Quickly coming my way
