Simply Second Nature - Douglas Hodge

A painter needs no reason to make a thing of art

Yes there no switch to stop and start the flow,

A gardener has it’s season, his green thumb and his heart,

Don’t ask a man why does your garden grow.

A poet sits for hours with words apon his tongue

He can not help to rhythm his doom and gloom

So if you taste my flowers, your see that I’am a Mon,

That certain group, that lucky troop for whom it’s

Simply Second Nature, to wish away the gray, to take licorice stick and make a

dream.

Yes there’s no rhythm or reason,

I was simply made this way, what’s strange to you is nature to me.

It’s Simply Second Nature to paint outside the lines, it’s really is the way

that I was born

You see I’ve been selective to create the unexpected,

And make each day feel just like Christmas morn.

The castle toke a tassel and turned it on it’s head, it isn’t right or wrong

it’s what he felt.

And dolly, even more some, would positively dread,

Explaining why his hands of time should melt.

And me, I take sweet honey and make a taste for rows, what can I say it’s

simply what I do,

Some men make pots of money, there happy I spouse,

But be grateful that for just a lucky few its…

Simply Second Nature, to see what isn’t there, the mind is such a wonder to

explore,

and though some nights I dread, all the voices in my head, I rather be this way

than be a boar.

It’s Simply Second Nature, to dream of something new,

To wake on fire and try to scup each day,

It’s no blessing, it’s a curse!

Wait, no Strike that, and Reverse

I wouldn’t have it any other way…
