Kudos

Don't you feel a mess, When you don't get those kudos? Kudos. Those expected kudos. Kudos. And don't you feel a wreck, When those kudos don't come through? Kudos. Those expected kudos. Kudos. Then you find a life, Watching mice eating cheese. Sitting in your kitchen nibbling rice and beans. While looking out a window hopscotching over dreams. And there's no kudos. No kudos. Have you ever 'tripped', When you didn't get those kudos? Kudos. Those expected kudos. Kudos. Did you get upset, In a mood with no kudos. Kudos. Those expected kudos. Kudos. And then you chased the mice, With a broom you swung. Knocking over lamps and feeling dumb. And then the doorbell rings, And a neighbor is there... With noodles. Meatballs and noodles.
