Who Makes These Changes?
Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer
and find myself chased by a hog.

I dig pits to trap others
and fall in.
I should be suspicious
of what I want.

I know you wanted to know that.
I've been out of town so I'm catching up...
There once was a man from Perth
Who was born on the day of his birth
He was married they say
On his wife's wedding day
And died when he quitted this earth
Ta Da!
