Analysis of On Freaky Tuesdays

Shambhala 1988 (Ronkonkoma)



It was not long til tuesday creeped up.
I didn't want to be so cruel.
I live like I gave a cent for something worth one hundred.
Life goes by and many think I have nothing.
I have something, a roof, a house to dwell in after, a donkey to ride home, and a long life that I don't worry of anymore.
After finding a wise man I knew I could live long.
All I did was think 'what if it was tuesday, I would die young'.
