Our Song

Linking with The Sunday Muse for the Muse # 35



There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is. ~William P. Merrill

I used to sing to the world
belting ballads to trees and birds
and anything that would listen
now the world sings to me
belting a ballad straight in my direction
I am learning to listen
with my heart.

Precipitation Not Expected

They're not hot flashes — they're power surges. ~Author unknown


I used to be a wild storm that riled the August seas

then I was a drought that killed a weeping willow tree

I settled into a snow fall that lingered through many winters so cold and strong

and now I am a hot flash of summer that lasts all decade long.

Forget love — I'd rather fall in chocolate! ~Sandra J. Dykes

Malcolm and Ruby had a wild fling
Malcolm and Ruby had a great thing
When Ruby kissed Malcolm he saw hearts
When Malcolm kissed Ruby she saw stars
It was all pretty rosy until along came Ned
Made poor Malcolm wish he was dead
Cause pretty Ruby saw a future of wealth
and all Malcolm had to offer was love and health
After 2 months Ned and Ruby were split
for only plants can grow when they are planted in shit
Now Ruby wants Malcolm back and she wants him bad
but Malcolm don't want Ruby cause she's a gold diggin' hag
After all the drama Malcolm got wiser
and eventually Ruby met a rich old miser
the moral of the story true love is always free
and their are always plenty of fish in the deep blue sea.
