Bad Days

I recently read Walden, and spent a lot of time thinking about Thoreau’s idea that it is folly to suffer to put away against future suffering. But of course that would be silly advice to follow.

Save my money for a rainy day
It’s the way so they say

Planning for the worst you’ll ever know
Rain and snow, the wind will blow

Never wasting a single little penny
Trusting no one will be there

Making sure I’m always getting ready
For bad days - I’m gonna live them

Need a little more security
Just for me tranquility

Work my fingers to the very bone
For my home all alone
