An Ode to Lately

An Ode to Lately

Lately I've been feeling blue-grey

Blue as the oceans wide

Grey as the falling skies

Lately I've been feeling blue-grey

Blue-grey as Daphne Groeneveld's eyes

Oh school life,

'Tis the bane of existence

'Tis the birthplace of conformity

'Tis you who causes my lack of creativity

Oh social life,

Lately

'Tis you who has changed so greatly

So suddenly,

Now I sing,

"What did I do

To make you so cruel"

Oh social life,

I owe my woes and this ode to you

Oh mother,

Can't you realise

Can't you recognise, 

That fashion is the only key

To my gaiety

Dear mother, 

Lately,

I'm in dire need 

of some retail therapy
