Give Man a Little Credit

For sure there's still a great deal to do
But let's give man credit where credit's due.
Continually reminded how bad things are
And blinded to the fact we've come so far,
We forget that the gloom of uncertain light
Heralds the ending of millennial night
And while the road ahead through troubles winds
A bleaker wasteland lies behind
And the lingering pain of blistered feet
Marks milestones gained, not defeat.

I got a little cat
And when I got her
She sat on the mat
Staring at a bat.
I went to smell a rose
And after I played
With the hose.
Then I heard my mother say
I'm getting a brother.
I was so excited I began to sing.
I went to the shops
And bought a ring
(for some weird reason).
