Rhyme and Reason

Rhyme and reason
Reason and rhyme
We asked the old man
What is the time?
The time he said
I do not know.
The clock stopped working some time ago
What a disaster was our reply
We don t know if it s 1 o clock or half past 5
The man kept talking things were fine
Looking at the sun he said
The time was for reason and rhyming
Reason and rhyme
Rhyme and reason
We asked the old lady
What is this season?
The season she said
You can t be sure.
The weathers changed, can t tell you any more
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god what a thing!
We don t know if it s summer, autumn, winter or spring
But wait, she said
This might be pleasing.
The time has come for rhyming and rhyming and reason
Rhyme and reason and destination
We ask ourselves, what is this nation?
This place they say is no mans land
And terra nullius is written in the sand
So whatWith all these spaces
Can t we be independent and combine the races
Well we will see what we can do
Like time and season
We ll rhyme and then we ll reason along
