(To the metre of ‘Where did you get that hat?’)
Where did the sunshine go?
Where has that sunshine gone?
I thought he was at work today
But I must’ve got it wrong
Likely just a mix-up
By those in Personnel
Highered each day, but failed to pay
So now it’s cold, and dark as well
I hear he parted company
Got work elsewhere, no doubt
Hell’s freezing over on Mars
So he’s gone to thaw it out
Doing a great job over there
Though it’s now becoming clear
If things work out economically
We’ll have to do without him here
I’ve been in a dark place. It was ace, I must say
Relaxed by a hole, for a chilled-out holiday
Took the weight right off my mind, and didn’t cost a penny
Well, duty-free and non-binary, so I had a couple too many
And, it may be interesting, to know I’m contesting…
That ‘meaning’ is in question, and that’s it
I’ve no time for testing, no mind for inspecting
Or even investing, in giving a shit
