Foolish

going through a carwash when you haven't got a car

standing at a bus whilst waiting for a bus-stop

posting off a birthday card when no-one's got a birthday

buying yourself a hedge trimmer when you haven't got a hedge

striking every match just to find out if they worked

buying yourself two hats when you've only got one head

using a bag of manure to cover up that smell

attempting to grab a flame that's flickering in the harth

hiring yourself a car but you can't even drive

hiring a car but you've got no-where to go

trying to catch the wind in a broken plastic sieve 

trying to cut a cloud into seventeen equal pieces

having a happy thought and then throwing it in the sea

wrapping up a newspaper in mushy-peas and chips

going off on holiday to the very place you live

running yourself a bath then never getting in it

taking out the batteries to stop the hands of time

running towards the sun to ensure it never sets

planting rows of lightbulbs to see if they will grow

and talking to a pigeon about the price of cornflakes 

... all foolish!
