- What
Do You Do?
-
-
-
- What do
you do when it costs too much and you can’t afford to pay?
- Do you
hunch your shoulders, and turn your head, and quietly walk away?
- Do you
think how different it would have turned out if you'd known what you know
today?
-
- What do
you think when they’re serving up the artificial cream?
- The
margarine, and the diet drinks, and the textured soy protein?
- Do you
think that they really meant something else when they spoke about haute
cuisine?
-
- What do
you say when you get the word that they have to let you go?
- Do you
pack up your desk, and wish them well, and put on a gallant show?
- Do you
think what should matter is what you’re worth, instead of just who you
know?
-
- What do
you do when you wake at night and the one you love is gone?
- Do you
tear your hair, and wring your hands, and pace until the dawn?
- Do you
think it was “better
to have loved and lost" or to wish you had never been born?
-
- What do
you do when you realize its over and you’re through?
- That
your body is shot, and your hopes are gone, and you haven’t got a clue?
- Do
you think the man with the hole in hand has room in his house for you?
