THE LAND OF ALMOST

here in the land of almost

you will find that things are quite...

well, maybe not that much at all

i need to get this right
.

in almost, things are rather...

but again i could be wrong

it's somewhat like a stanza

in a half remembered song
.

in almost, things are very...

well, that term may be too strong

it seems a brief description

always goes on way too long
.

here in the land of almost

seems the way of life is so...

now, how can i explain it ?

if i could, i'd let you know
.

i guess you'd say it's always...

no, that's not what i should say

i start out with a notion

but then things get in the way
.

in almost, things are often...

maybe seldom's what i mean

i guess you should investigate

to see what lies between
.

here in the land of almost

i begin and then i stop

while you just sit there waiting

for the other shoe to drop
