Take the “A” Train by Duke Ellington
If the world were a perfect sphere
It’d be a beautiful place.
There would be no destruction
Or sorrow and disgrace.
There would be no color
To complexify one’s life;
Everything would be in monochrome
Without a speck of spice
But the world is covered in misshapen holes
With mountains in between
And everything is intensified:
The good the bad and the ugly.
We relish when the sun shines down
And even in the rain…
Nothing’s ever perfect,
But we’re happy all the same.
