I have a dream
by Laura DoomHey man! Awesome speech!
Hit all the right spots;
you got a winning formula there.
Yeah, I can relate -- plainly
a man of conviction, principles.
Shame it doesn't win my vote
but then it'd be counter-productive,
giving succour to the opposition, right?
Yeah -- it's a cut-throat business,
small town politics.
Maybe you've seen me around?
I turn up at most of these local events;
makes for good relations.
Nothing ventured, right?
So, I'm performing here tomorrow;
why don't you come along?
Obviously won't be up to your standard,
but, maybe you'll hear something you like.
Hey, I might even get your vote...
ha, no, but seriously, I gotta go;
people to meet, you know how it is.
Anyway, good luck with the campaign.
That's a bitch of a pitch you got there,
sooner or later you'll strike it lucky
...
Hey man! Heard your speech yesterday.
Amazing stuff! Really moved me... 04/01/2009 Posted on 04/01/2009

lash upon lash, too closely invested in its hot mix and mingling and what is left for lashes post the reading, but to cast their vote if not their shadows being too darn curt from searing. perhaps I should have donned shades? one thing is certain one does not need three d glasses to gather the multi dimensionals working here. |
