Lampshades and Hangovers

Wearing a LAMPSHADE when I woke from this bed
All sorts of pounding still in my head
Need some grease
A HANGOVER release
Oh how I think I'd be better off dead

Tim, My father told me once, as I hugged the commode, teary eyed, hung over: "son, the only cure for that is DEATH!!" Congrats on the high placement or as the song says "I've got friends in low places"

Congratulations, Tim. The humor is classic, and the originality is . . . is (as my youngest son would say) awesome.

I have to admit waking up with a traffic cone on my head, once. And my shoes were in the fridge. I feel your pain. A worthy win, Tim. Regards, Viv
