Come Back Salmon, by Charles Carreon
Making a better world,
I saw a salmon try to cross the road,
Not enough water there to make a difference,
But he was givin' it all he could,
Because it's an ordinary world
with ordinary people
and ordinary concepts
on any ordinary day,
And if you can't make it simple
Like an Amazon website visit
Then there's no hope for your idea
So you might as well forget it,
But if you think you've got
what this old world demands
Then take it to the bank
and see what you can get.
