Profound Thoughts
This morning as I was washing the dishes I was supposed to do last night, I thought about my monumental birthday tomorrow and I was pondering the words of the great philosopher Steve Miller:
Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'
Into the future
This is perhaps exceeds the profundity of his exposition on self-realisation:
I'm a picker, I'm a grinner, I'm a lover and I'm a sinner
Playing my music in the sun
I'm a joker, I'm a smoker, I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
This is perhaps because I gave up smoking at the age of eight and I've never been a toker, at midnight or otherwise.
I did take on one last bit of Millerian philosophy before I finished the dishes:
My grandpa, he's 95
And he keeps on dancin'
He's still alive
My grandma, she's 92
She loves to dance
And sing some, too
I don't know
But I've been told
If you keep on dancing
You'll never grow old
During the next 40 years, I'm going to do the best I can to keep dancing.
