Voices In My Head

Silliness reigns in my heart today Need to share it, that's pretty plain Everything seems to be coming my way Must be in the oncoming lane This one seems quite appropriate today Never die for your beliefs There's a good chance you could be wrong It's over, no chance for reprise They say “he who laughs last laughs best” I say that “he” just didn't get it Constipated people just don't give a crap Pretty uptight you could bet on it The sex we had last night was so good Even the neighbours lit a cigarette Now that's so utterly ridiculous my friends Had their ears against the wall, I bet You're just jealous coz those voices I hear Have chosen to speak only to me Happiness is having a very close-knit family Permanently residing in another city Okay enough, is enough, is enough Well just one more, then promise to end it To tell the truth I don't suffer from insanity I enjoy every damn minute of it © Jack Ellison 2013

Heh.Heh Gotta love it! And I did. Whimsical and down to earth witticisms put a smile on my puss and laughter in my belly. Humor. Almost a lost art. Almost, but you still carry the torch.

My voices aren't crazy... they're family... My son is back for the weekend from Kansas City... He causes soooo manyyy problems... Got a new phone and changed all our paperwork on the family plan... Actually, maybe that's not so bad... He'll get all the family's phone bills... Naw! He probably wouldn't pay them... Dumb kid! ... However I wouldn't miss the phone... Know it'd drive him crazy... LOL... This is getting better and better the more I think about it.
