more lyrics to songs not yet composed

Here's a song about the memories contained in pocket trash:

Laundry Day Archaeology

There’s a receipt in my pocket
From the last time I wore these pants
It is from the post office
So maybe I bought some stamps

In the pocket of this jacket
There’s a tissue that looks quite old
Maybe I wore this jacket
The last time that I had a cold

There’s a wrapper from a band-aid
In the pocket of this shirt
Oh, now I remember-
It’s from the day my knee got hurt

In the pocket of this blazer
There’s a wrapper all shiny and green
It is from a candy I ate
The day after Halloween

There are things in this outfit
That tell tales of things that have been
I’d better empty my pockets
Before I wash these clothes clean

Cat Etiquette

One thing that I like to do is write words for funny songs. Hopefully one day there will be tunes to go with these words. Then these little ditties could be sung to entertain small children forever and ever. Until that day, there are only words. Here is one about cats:

Cat Etiquette

You might find it amusing to tease kitty with a string
As she chases it across the floor, you think it’s just the thing.
But cats aren’t here to entertain, and so I urge you pause
Before your hand falls victim to tiny pointy claws.

Chorus:
Sometimes cats get cranky when you play with them too much.
That is quite annoying, since they’re awful nice to touch.
It can make you feel like yelling:
“You’re a mean old such-and-such!!!!!”
Whenever cats get cranky ‘cause you played with them too much.

It might seem enchanting to dress kitty in a cape
No matter how he protests and struggles to escape.
You might think it makes him handsome, that it makes him look quite chic
But the sour look upon his face tells me he thinks you’re a creep.

Chorus.

When you want to pat your kitty, there are some simple rules
For if you do it wrong, your pet will think you’re cruel.
Do not use so much pressure that her eyes start to bug out
This will make your kitty grumpy, and she’ll begin to pout.
If you pat your cat too quickly, all her fur will stand on end,
For in your quest for affection you have upset your friend.

Chorus.

It's been a long time

Wow. It's been forever since I posted anything in this electronic public diary. Might as well get back to it....

Getting you totally updated on my goings on would be too too heavy a job, so I'll just let you know that I'm back at school, I'm doing an internship in an elementary school working with special needs children (not something I ever intended on doing) and I sometimes suffer from debilitating migraines.

My life has taken a turn for the quiet. I rarely ever go out, but I find many, many ways to fill up my days. School consumes most of my time, but I am a straight A student, so it's worth it in the end. I've also got my craft projects- still making jewelry and collages and I've taken up weaving too. All in all, I'm busy and happy. Well, as happy as anyone can be at the tail end of winter. Truly, it will be grand to see the wretched snow melt!

I will provide some slightly more detailed highlights of my recent exploits soon. Thank you for your patience, dear readers.
