Time and Distance

. . . so I sez

now look here Blind Billy

and why don't you see

we only travel

through time

from sneaker to knee

we pay for the time

but the distance

is free

when the distance

is done

we enter our plea

to beg

a new chance

from the Last Referee

to repent

and reform

we promise with glee

but He knows

of our record

does the Last Referee

and He knows

of our need

to disagree

so He gives us new life

a new chance to do right

another yank at the cosmic goatee
