The Drivel Thread

My jaw feels a bit off, but my lungs have fully recovered. I did karaoke with a friend on Friday, for a couple of hours and didn't cough once.
 
Bouncing

My jaw is weak
The prognosis is bleak
This is my own diagnosis
My lungs have fully recovered
The mold infection is over

I'm getting new shoes
I know they're good news
Because I already have this model
In a different colour
Plantar fasciitis is over

Soft soled shoes are all the rage
But they caused me pain
Firm soles have saved me
From that tendon getting ripped
Bouncing until I tripped
 
Hi, LH. When I apologized to you that also meant that I would not bring up any issues you've had again, that is what an apology is, partly a statement of intent to not do it again. I can see how you thought I may have been confused when I posted some things the other day, but I wouldn't be that careless. Just wanted you to know that if I ever do talk about issues again, it's definitely not about you.

He Smoked in the Alley

Puny and pathetic
He sucked back on his cigarette
I've been feeling
Like he's been looking
Things are going wrong
Communications are down
He called me to say
I'd missed my appointment today
But I was never told I had one
So now I'm seen as a fugitive
I'd best get used to it
As usual I'm misunderstood
I get punished for good
My time is up
No one really wants to know
What's up
It's just wallowing in quicksand
He said no one lends a hand
One day maybe he'll understand
 
Today I Told Her

My motor mouth did the talking
Out came the clumsy words
Looking back, I see they could have meaning
I hadn't foreseen

I hope she doesn't take it the wrong way
What I had to say
About races black and white
That we do karaoke with both types

But I only named the white singers
Neglected the black ones
Looking back
Will she wonder if I'm a racist quack

Funny how it goes
The way things can appear
Verbal conversation can't be edited before posting my dear
So out come the words

That can be misleading
I only found the white singers' names to be ripe for the picking
From my hasty memory banks
In the heat of conversation thanks

Why didn't I have on the tip of my tongue
Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, TLC, Beyonce
Only in hindsight I can go beyond
The familiarity of Phil Colins, Shania Twain, Madonna, and Elton John

She knew that I put on Morrissey
I didn't have to tell her
She's heard enough about that
But my karaoke partner goes on a different path

He's becoming a fan
Agrees Morrissey is a very gifted man
Ian Curtis too
The way he sing and dance
 
It Alway Boils Down to Drama

Here and there
She says not to dare
But the tide
It will smother you
No matter what you do

It always ends in drama
Either way
If she gets her way
Peace never lasts for long
There's always got to be a scapegoat

The sacrificial animal
Is forever in the making
The beast needs her blood
Nicey nice clothes
Cover her bloody skin up

Eventually she'll come for you
It's entertaining until she do
Others fall under her wheels
Enthralled you feel
While under her spell

Why are you so tirelessly obsessed with a person on the Internet?
You stir up all this 'drama', nobody else notices or cares about it.
You need to get out more.

I do plan on getting out more. I intend to take up running in a few weeks. It's true I've been too invested here.
