Blockflute III

There's so much I like
that's wrapped up in your egg shaped head
Inadequately protected by the..

..thin wall of bone
and dependent on constant supply 
of oxygen from blood, and serotonin 

A helmet might help
But the catastrophes that would crush you to a pulp
are still too many to count

That's why I wrote this song
It's for those who handle you to remember
it's a sing along

Here's precious cargo
precious cargo to me
very precious cargo
very precious cargo indeed

I kept it simple, so you'd remember how it goes
Here's precious cargo
precious cargo to me
very precious cargo
very precious cargo indeed

And they have to go, so that's ok, I just want everyone to know 
Here's precious cargo
precious cargo to me
very precious cargo
very precious cargo indeed

Here's precious cargo
precious cargo to me
very precious cargo
very precious cargo indeed

There are parts of life 
I know they're yet to see
precious cargo
such precious cargo to me

There are paths that might 
just lead them back to me, they're...
precious cargo
such precious cargo indeed

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, 
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit 
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, 
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
