Analysis of OH-OK It's Today

Robert Brady 1947 (Valleyfield)



Today, is not like any other day.
Today is today!
Lots of different sounds and sights
Also a bright new starry night.
Not at all like yesterday
nor will it be like tomorrow.
Today, has all its own events,
Thoughts, actions, ideas also different from yesterday.
Just listen to the sounds of music, or one can go out and play.
Or, maybe one can just stay at home.
In  thinking of the months ahead,
February, March, April, and May.
I do know each month will be different,
This I must say!
Newness, pleasantness, or maybe a huge mess.
I must be careful what I think, or say,
As Today is Today.
