No! or Know!
Why must it always appear to be “No!”?
You see, I seem to understand;
I say “appear”; I don’t demand.
So, why must it always seem to be “No!”?
I don’t ask for power, riches or wealth;
I don’t even ask for good health.
So, why must it always seem to be “No!”?
I ask to be good, or at least to be better;
Nothing helps; shall I mail you a letter?
Why must it always appear to be “No!”?
I pray for my family, my friends, myself;
I pray our creatures return to good health!
So, why must the answer always be “No!”?
Okay, I just want my little dog well;
A very small request, if truth to tell!
You keep moons on course, make galaxies spin;
Why can’t you ever just once let me win?
I just want my little dog well!
