I wrote a song and a half today
I wrote a song and a half today,and it's called
It's Time to Tape My Toes or the TTMT Song.
The song is sung in broadway style,with a dash of Frank Sinatra for class.
The chord progression is a basic 1 3 5.Feel free to choose your scale.
Any questions,feel free to ask
for asking is free
but answers are not
It's time to tape my toes ... x2
I've been walking along
A long walk alone
and I'm hurtin'
and I'm bleedin'
for all my sad tomorrows
and all bygone friends and foes
and my bloody chafin' toes
So...it's time to tape my toes coz
one can never know
how the wind blows
and take you and show
wherever the winds blow
I've been walkin along
a long walk alone
and I'm hurtin'
and I'm bleedin'
So it's time to tape my toes...(repeat and fade away)
p.s.
(If you want to make it country western -replace the following with the suggested ones below
my -mah,
toes -tows,
alone-alown,
and -'n ,
So-sow,
time-ty-eem,
tape-tay-p)
The other half song that I wrote was...
Partners
Sung in the tune of 'The Blue Danube'
Let's be partners in rhyme
and let's do our time
beneath the soft glow of moonshine
Let's be partners in rhyme
and dance all night along
beneath the sky,beside the ocean
This love of ours ,
long and eternal,
needs no magic potion
(to make it pop- increase BPM to 120, insert liberally and randomly the following
"Oh baby" ,"Yeah Baby","My Baby","baby girl" , "Your'e so fine" ,"smooth", "sweet" ,"mmm","silky","love","heart")

Seasons of the Sun

Daughters and Downpour.
Torrential rainfalls lashed across the decks,claps of thunder following close by with slivers of jagged electricity occasionally hurtling downwards from the heavens,in a silent scraggy path of temporal phosphoresecence.
Of course it is needless to say that watching the rains is playing the waiting game,and anyone who has played rhe waiting game never knows where it will lead him.It is most likely that within no time one will be lost in one of the hidden alleys down the memory lane.
"The rains have something in them...", He said, "like magic.
One rain,just one rain can do what years of automatic sprinklers and arificial fertilizers cannot do...One good rain and you see
that the earth has bloomed,fresh anew and teeming with life ,and all those plants - all because of one rain"
I said,"I'd like to think so too.There is something magical.It's not just the water- - it could not be...there's something more to it.Whenever it rains,somehow it seems that the plants are happy,sometimes even joyous in celebration"
He grew silent as we both watched the liquid inundation ,the celestial fireworks and the grey pallor cast by the moist saturated air that hung like thick curtains.I was concerned if I had said something wrong or offensive for him to retreat deeply inwards and be pensive.
"My daughter..." He trailed off, lost once again in the hidden alleys down the memory lane,"My daughter is a very intuitive girl.What you said reminded me of her...always sensitive for age,even when a child" he said pointing at an empty space and then raising his downturned palm upto his waist showing an approximation of a three of four year old kid.
"It was raining once", he said again pointing at the imaginary child of three of four years old,"and she said Look daddy ! The plants are smiling!...there was beauty and simplicity in her statement , a rare thing for a child of that age to say",he said still pointing at empty space where he had temporarily conjured up a daughter full of metaphysical depth and flesh and blood made of ether.
"This other time she began crying because she couldn't stand the cutting down of trees in the city.
It was heartwrenching to see her sob and heave with the burden of the shared grief of the fallen trees.It was heartwrenching because all of a sudden I felt very inadequate as a parent and a protector, for I could not ease her pain nor soothe her.I was forced to watch her endure ...
Did you know she wrote poetry?"
And it continued to pour outside while inside I waited to be drenched in the memories of unknown pasts and unseen lifetimes.
"-and she reminds me of my eldest daughter." said the other.
"She's a crazy one.One minute she's reading a book" he said pantomiming the action of reading a huge book, perhaps three feet from spine to the edge of the cover "and the next moment..." he paused and stuck his pinkie in my ear canal and said "she's doing this to irritate me.Or when the missus and I are sitting together and quietly reading ,she'll come out of nowhere and keep her head on my lap and her feet on the missus and take a fake nap.
On the outside,she looks very studious,serious and level headed but she's always upto some monkey business or the other.She drives me mad sometimes,but that's the reason I keep missing her.Her antics - they always make it hard to forget"
"Hmmm..." we chorused and sighed.We all retreated into our caves.We were exposed and fragile.Our memories had made us vulnerable.We needed to be alone to recuperate.
There were many downpours that night.The one on the outside had stopped,but the others on the inside raged on,with each man sighing at the plight of being reduced to ressurrect homunculi fleshed out from the essence of the hidden alleys down the memory lane and hoping for a better tomorrow when goodbyes were optional and poor substitutes from the hidden alleys down the memory lane were no longer required.

James Bond never picks his nose in public
This is just the fuckin' beginning.
He had heard his boss say all the time.
Lazily he dug deep.Deep assosiations being triggered off in his brain.
His pinky finger was buried down to it's first knuckle - gently probing and prodding...and then- Ah! Found it!
This is just the fuckin'beginning.
How long has it been?Only three days?In the coming days,weeks,months and years the colour will spread,the glint will spread and metastasize like a malignant tumour.At first your snot,then your spit, to a lesser extent of detection-your blood,and with time your shit, your pre-cum,your cum-your everything will be reddish rust and it will glint.That's what working in an iron ore refinery does to you.
His boss told him that as a part of his induction briefing.
Real gold did not sparkle.Real gold did not dazzle.Real gold did not impress.
Real gold only shone a dull yellow shine.
On the wrong person,real gold looked cheap.On the wrong person, real gold looked vulgar.But on some unlucky sods, it looked both cheap and vulgar, and on some really unlucky bastards it also looked tacky.If it wasn't for real golds rarity,Fool's gold would have won hands down.Such was the irony in life.Rarity took precedence over common beauty.
Guilt and relaxation went hand in hand with nose picking, just as in many other forms of cheap thrills and other amusements.
He could only vaguely remember that the scientist had an Indian name and had actually shown up to accept the Ignoble Award.
Monkeyshine.
That's what the other kids used to call him at school.
Also George of the Jungle not realizing that in that movie ,the talking gorrilla was named Ape.
So when his mom was giving him a bath,maybe when he was four or possibly three but not five or two,because he had no memories of being two or any younger because of the 'Falling off the swing in 1986' incident, she talked about etiquette.The ages before five are the formative years where the brains learning capacity is supposedly ten thousand times greater than that of an average adults.Why was there such a drastic reduction in the learning capacity of an average adult?The adult simply grew up and abandoned the age of wonder and intrigue.Nothing seemed new anymore.Titanium alloy disc brakes were applied hard to the accelration of brain and then abandoned at the sidewalk.
And other veggies.
Fine.
He had no problems with that.Unlike other kids ,he loved his veggies.He heaped veggies on his plate-raw,cooked,peeled,skinned,blanched,cored,sliced,diced,cubed,sauteed,skewered,barbequed,baked, tinned,pickled and other.
"Give the kid his fuckin' veggies...and don't forget the fruits.All that roughage he eats can bring about world peace"
He was the model kid,made and example and praises showered upon in front of other kids with veggie induced loss of appetite so that they could follow suit.
Not that it ever worked.
Monkeyshine,George of the Jungle was simply not cool enough to shepherd the sheep.
He remembered James Bond.Pussy Galore made his spine tingle.Octupussy fantasies threw him into a fit of frenzy.

It ain't over yet...
vocal rendering.
Oh! So You don't wanna go there...
You don't wanna talk about it...
I don't care...
I wanna go there,I wanna talk about it.
After all, wasn't it me who was avoiding all that...STUFF?
C'mon.
Let's make haste.
My verbal diarrhea is acting up and I've got an itch up my ass.
And I don't hear any singing yet.
