Keep it simple as a dimple in a baby's cheek. Keep it careful as a wareful eye in sleep. Keep it cozy like a rosy color or two. Keep it simple. Keep it simpler, too. Wear costumes as much as you can. Comprehend only the simple things. The rest are boring hobbles. You don't need to make them afraid or aware of ... things. Keep it simple as the touch of someone's hand. Keep it simple and sentimental -- there's the plan. Keep it simple and easy to digest in one read. Keep it simple and silly -- that's the need! Make it cozy and warm and free of pain. Or when there is pain, hoist it so far up It becomes art, not pain, not bitter lack of sleep. Keep it simple and they will praise you from afar. Keep it simple and you'll make enough money to buy a new car. Keep it simple and silly and willfully bright. After all, Even a war has its flowers. Even the dead have their powers. Even the crying have happier moments. Even the ... something that something rhymes with moments. Comets? No. Bonnets? No. Flaunt it, want it, haunt it? Of course not. Keep it simple as a stapled seam. Keep it simple as a favorite dream. Keep it simple as fantasy will let it. Don't get controversial -- they'll never forget it! You will regret it! Or, worse yet, be ignored. So keep it simple, And be adored. [This message has been edited by bsquirrel (edited 06-11-2000).] |

J.M./B.S./Friend, As always, glad you enjoyed. Irony is a dying art -- time to revive it a little bit, anyway. Mike |

very good idea, awe imagine. Just a simple thing as keep it simple. This i'll ponder, but what happens if my fingers keep dancing across the keys. They do at times have a mind of their own. So i'll guess i'll set a meeting to see if at all possible i'll type with my toes . lol that will definetely keep it very very simple. Just be silly. I do have my ways about me.. |
