Analysis of Relaxing
Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)
Oh, how I wished to relax,
I use the bathroom a lot, laxative.
In the nature, I walk,
But not talk.
Animals go on the ground,
But not in the pound.
They relax,
Especially if they eat flax.
Nature can be relaxing,
But not if you're faxing.
It's intense to be heard,
And if you learn the Word.
Oh, how is this?
Is it bliss?
Now it's not over,
But you may find a lover.
Go on a dating site,
But don't get into a fight.
Now just relax
when you fill-out the tax.
