Couple jabs
Doesn't sound bad
But rolling up a shirt
Pin pricks hurt
What do we do
Not get vaccination flu
Must
Talk and trust
That is not a fuss
To find the proper decision
Since a boo boo needs kissing
Filled with tender loving care
Soothing any pediatric scare
Here lies the Count of Monte Cristo
Who got to settle a few scores
With stevedores and commodores
Before stretching out below

We are Nasty Women
When we hear haughtiness, we name it
When we see bullying, we blame it
We are Nasty Women
We do not daintily defer
For selfish whims of a saboteur
We will not walk three steps behind
We will not sheathe our sharpened minds
We are logic's clear eloquence
We are unyielding consequence
We are Nasty Women
We are out of many, one
We are the soldiers of every war
We are astronauts and commodores
We are the activists of plundered Earth
We are the executives who expect our worth
We are the advocates of facts, unsuppressed
As we walk the corridors of Congress
And we are far from done.

It's Time To 'Fess Up Contest
Sponsor: Lin Lane
I know his biography inside and out and every song he has ever sung,
a singer and songwriter from the Commodores with many awards won.
I “Truly” believe the song “We Are The World” changed the music industry,
yes, I am guilty of having a strange obsession with the famous Lionel Richie!
When I'm “Dancing On The Ceiling”, I can keep going “All Night Long”,
I'm not sure if I have it inside of me to throw away his love songs.
To my body I am sorry for tugging at those ol' heart strings,
but I do believe I can't live without those adoring songs he sings!
