Going To The Convention

Going To The Convention
By Larry Linville

Going to a convention
hip, hip, and a big hurray.
Got to get all fired up
there’s no time for me to play.

Sitting in a seat up high
speakers are very small
I have to watch the speakers
on a big screen on the wall.

The seat assigned where I sit
proves to be a great trial.
Everyone seems to believe
it’s just another aisle.

My behind is getting tired
and I really have to go
but by the time I get there
you know I’ll be too slow.

The food is so expensive
still my body needs to eat.
If it wasn’t for the high price
it would be a tasty treat.

I get too weary to sit
and I’m much to tired to stand.
There’s a big bed in my room
which feels like it’s made of sand.

I’ll be going home soon
At least that’s my intention
then I’ll talk about how much
I enjoyed the convention
