If I eat one more piece of pie, I’ll die!
If I can’t have one more piece of pie, I’ll die!
So since it’s all decided I must die,
I might as well have one more piece of pie.
MMMM–OOOH–MY!
Chomp–Gulp–‘Bye.

I despise the author from a personal standpoint, but this is one of those sardonic little doggerels that sticks in my brain *Rolling*

Sung'manitu Author Icon - congratulations!
Trying a new format: adding brief stories to my blog... As long as they're not past 1k words and there's a song behind them, I'll combine several tasks *Smile*

Anticipation from Promptly Poetry Open in new Window.
Hope for the future gives me motivation to work on the present...

She walks—the lady of my delight—
         A shepherdess of sheep.
Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white;
She guards them from the steep.
         She feeds them on the fragrant height,
And folds them in for sleep.

***

She holds her little thoughts in sight,
         Though gay they run and leap.
She is so circumspect and right;
         She has her soul to keep.
She walks—the lady of my delight—
         A shepherdess of sheep.

— Alice Meynell

Yep! Today may (or may not, no telling) be the last day!

Note: I have an important doctor's appointment nearly 3 hrs away and I'm the driver so there will be significant delays in receiving GPs! But if you check out the above Newsfeed note, you can see I do pay. It will just be very delayed today. *Heart*

Thank you so much for posting this, Amethyst Angel 🍀 You are fabulous!

Ode to February from Promptly Poetry Open in new Window.
A study of what the second month of the year means to me...
I've added a new entry to my book, "Pocket Size Stories" Open in new Window.:
         "Return" Open in new Window.
My first (sleepy) attempt at PromptMaster... I couldn't decide which book item to add it to.

You know I left, I flew the nest,
And you know I won't be long
         And in my chest you know me best
         And you know I'll be back home…
(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano, by Sampha from Music Notes Open in new Window.

Jeremy Author Icon *Smile*

I don't think that I'm strong enough...
'Cause there's fire in these hills
And I think I've lost my will
         The more we try, the more we fail
But after everything you're here with me still...
         Fire in These Hills, by ID from Music Notes Open in new Window.

Final "The Soundtrack of Your Life" Open in new Window. post... I promise you won't hear a peep of ID or 1R on the Newsfeed all March *Bigsmile* *HeartT*

In some ways, those lyrics sound a bit like my wife and me.
I never follow links to music or to videos, but always read the lyrics you post here.
Afterall, that's why I'm here --- to Read and wRite! (I leave the 'Rithmetics to people more numerically literate than I. *Wink* )
