When life seems too befuddlin' Take time to do some spuddlin' Go splashin' while it's puddlin' Go barefoot in the rain. When things are poor to middlin' And both your thumbs are twiddlin' Stand on your head while fiddlin' For smi-l-in' out loud!! When all about are snigglin' Get all your toes a'wigglin' Then soon you will be gigglin' Your doldrum's sure to wane. When things get willy-nilly Do something brash and silly Eat ice-cream with your chili For smi-l-in' out loud! When day's are feelin' maudlin Watch baby ducklings waddlin' There's always one that's dawdlin' That's no time for disdain When life is too befuddlin' Make time to go out spuddlin' That's splashin' while it's puddlin' For smi-l-in' out loud!!!

I have a smile, from ear to ear you have my vote Nan Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive, my body goes on, my spirit has died and I though alive, feel dead inside. "Rose Petal" |

You sure make it difficult to keep up the persona of a dark, brooding poet. Damn feet are tapping and my face is in this really wierd configuration... kinda like this:  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
