I was walking down the road one night

and I thought do we really need all this stuff.

I passed the electricians, and allied carpets

and it all seemed more than enough.

So I wondered

and I asked myself.



Why have carpets when floorboards

were ok?

Why have lightbulbs when candles

do the job?

And do we really need to think about all the stuff

that doesn't have anything to do with us.

Don't we just need life to be

adequate

adequate.



I kept on walking down this road

and I saw that was even more.

A texaco petrol station

and a burger king.

So I wondered

and I asked myself.



Why have cars when walking

was ok?

Why have burgers when it looked alright

on a plate?

And do we really need to think about all the stuff

that doesn't have anything to do with us.

Don't we just need life to be

adequate

adequate

adequate.
