Some would say this Sunday was a day like any other I would say that isn't true - today I found my lover My lover is my joy for life - something that I'd forgot I don't know on which path of life it somehow had got lost But here I am this Sunday - and oh what a happy day I'm full of joie de vivre my friend, and gonna stay that way Started with the usual things - a shower and blow dry But something deep inside of me was singing mighty high Called up some good friends of mine and said we'd meet at two so I got into my little car and blasted 80's tunes Was driving down the streets of town blasting El Costello And inside this little car I'm singing with a bellow Then this compilation tape goes into English Beat I'm dancing in my little car (with arms though, not with feet) Other drivers stare at me and I don't give a toss Cause I have found my joy inside that I had thought was lost Stop for gas and pumping fast, a wasp does follow me With both hands I am swatting and dancing crazily Other folks on King Street think that I am some psycho I stop my dance and pay my cash, back on the road I go I drive on down the highway with the wind blown through my hair Arriving at my good friends house with other friends out there We sit out on the patio and laugh and talk and drink Talking bout the good old days, and politics I think Found something out bout buddy Steve that we share with each other So we're gonna put a website up and call it "Ode to Butter" Me and Liz did reminisce about our high school days We thought that we were cool to drink scotch with pink lemonade Then I said that it has been such fun, but I'm calling it a day Cannot drink too much and drive, so must be on my way Get back in my little car, the highway I must drive I'm having so much fun now that the clock hits 1-3-5 Better slow it down because the cops are on the rumble Already got me last year - my insurance it did double Sitting in the drivers seat, The Pogues on my cassette I know that this has been a day that I'll not soon forget Cause it has been a perfect day just sitting in the sun I think that the next chapter of my life has just begun If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Thanks to all of you for your kind words, I'm so glad you all had fun with it. I was in a great mood when I wrote it and the words just seemed to jump onto the paper demanding to be written. Sandra - yes it was a great day. Glad you had fun reading it Enchantress - glad I had you bouncing too Alan - glad you enjoyed it too Suetang - glad you enjoyed it and could relate Jwesley - what music did you crank up ? ?) Glad you had fun with it Thanks again to all of you If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

*S* We all need a few days like this and folks to tell us about them. Death comes not when we cease to breath, but when we cease to dream. |
