The boss who expects more of you, is a small mammal,
facing up to a bigger world.
The people you love, are small mammals,
living on a small blue rock,
floating through space.
We are thousands of miles from where we started,
and no idea as to where we are going.
There are no adults, just small mammals
bimbling from disaster to disaster,
hoping for the best,
expecting the worst,
knowing that it will never be
as we hoped it would be.
