Onions

Swimming is just not as fun anymore
When someone you know has drowned.
And this really sums up the problem we have with life.
For something somewhere has caused the death
Of all of those who have gone before,
And it steals the joy of doing about anything.

And then people say the stupidest things
To "help you" " get over" "your loss."
Most are well meaning religious folk
Who tell you to "just remember the good times,"
Or "they're in a better place."

But it's days like these I scratch my head
And wonder what's the use?
And try to pull up another tomorrow
Out of the onion patch.
It's a good thing I like onions, you know?

And.... I hope you do toooooo.....
