Two Short Planks

Ian Anderson

Find some way to square the circle.

Feet slipping, sliding on the level.

Connect to reason, is there anybody there?

Drum it in to me now if you dare.



Triangles by Isosceles.

Principles by Archimedes.

Amo, amas; even amat

Make for one less way to skin the cat.



Two short planks

Try my luck on another day

Must be thick as

Two short planks

That's about all that I have to say.



Two short planks

Pop the question: I sit the test

Must be thick as

Two short planks

Spin me round till I come to rest.



They say truth comes flooding if you let it.

But what happens if I just don't get it?

I'm blissful in my sweet ignorance

And delight in my incompetence.

Two short planks

Try my luck on another day

Must be thick as two short planks

That's about all that I have to say.

Two short planks

Pop the question: I sit the test

Must be thick as two short planks

Spin me round till I come to rest.
