“Ob la di, ob-la-da, life goes on..”

This is such a quintessential song belonging to the Beatles era perpetrating the story of two people falling in love and leading a perfectly non-exciting life on a daily basis, that it restores your faith in the humanity. What seems so simplified encompasses the everyday qualms of normal daily life, including the mundane aspects, which I think is what needs to be celebrated. Here’s what it does to me:

You think you know me so well,
I am here for you, while you are down in a well
Come out of your shell,
That’s the only thing I can tell.

Make it quick, I am running out of patience,
Don’t play with my emotions,
You and the kids have no conscience,
Love can be such a beautiful nuisance.

The Park is filled with carousels,
The kids and you love chocolate pretzels,
I want to climb out of the barrel and play kiss-and-tell,
The shell only bothers me, ever so little.
