I’m in a minimalist mood!—so I wrote a short dramatic lyric titled It Wasn’t My Idea.
It Wasn’t My Idea
It wasn’t my idea
I never thought of that.
Don’t you see?
It was nothing to do with me—
until it happened.
I was nowhere near the scene—
You’d have known it
had I been.
It wasn’t my idea
I never thought of that.
But, what can you do
or say
when it happened
anyway.

Audio – It Wasn’t My Idea 🎶
Written for Reena’s Xploration #411 and in response to the quote “It was not my idea, but it happened.”
Thank you, Reena, for the inspiration 🙏
And thank you, dear reader, for spending time with me.
