This is a house of love
I love so
First, because she is in it
Second, me too
It’s easy living
Sunshine coming through
Delicacies to savor
Who knew life could be so kind?
Two fireplaces
My, my, my
In her loving arms
No need to go anywhere
We’ve got it made
In this love we share

***** Nilly and his best friend, Nick Name headed towards Malibu where they were to meet Hope Chest for tea. Uh oh, Nan O’Second insisted on going and then spoiled their plans because she wanted to bring Jack Russell. They ended up having donuts where they ran into Deb Enture, who was cooking up some deal with Sue Ffle.
Gus To was in the parking lot where he backed away from Ty Rade, who was his usual self.  Dan Druff and Stanley Cup attempted to intercede but were thwarted by Mo Mentum who halted their efforts.
Then, lo and behold, Ruth Less accompanied by Miss Ann Thrope shouted invective at everyone. This upset bystander Heidi **, who turned and left with Grant Writer. Ed U. Cated just sat in his car and put moves on Claire Voyant.
I always do this at the first of each year.

It all turned out ok
Here we are
The plans we made
Have all come true
I owe it all
I know it all
Is due to you
Oh, Cindy
It’s been quite a time
Rolling down the road of life
With lovin’ on our minds
We just keep keeping on
Smiling all the while
Optimistic is our characteristic
Sometimes flying blind
Oh, Cindy, isn’t it great
It all turned out OK?

This is the scene, the place
Where my tears did fall
This is where she broke my heart
If I must recall
That dreary day so long ago
When she told me we were through
“I could not wait any longer,” she said
It was such bad news
I’d never cried before, not like that
She was someone I could marry
So I thought
Instead I went kerplat
Down and out
Into the land of funk
Somehow I made it out
Here I am back today
Ruminating, researching
What was that about?
It was a long time ago
But the wound still smarts
Life is not perfect
Ask those with broken hearts
Some never mend
They just go on
Take me for example
For I am one

Our romance was a gust of wind
And so we flew away
Spent time in heaven
Too bad we could not stay
I shall remember it forever
And miss it just as long
Be thankful for what we had
We were and are a song
That only we could sing
More than just a memory
A feeling in our hearts
It hurts too much to grieve

She sends kisses in the wind
Hoping they will land on her true love
Wherever he may be
She knows he is out there
Just not where he is
But they will meet
When or where we shall see

He must be kind, she knows
Fundamentally
And a good lover
Who will be discreet
Like rock and pop music
And food from the street
The definition of class
Definitely

She waits
Patiently
She prays
He will be
Soon to arrive
She is ready to give her heart
All to him
Immediately

I don’t want to talk about it
How she broke my heart
I should have seen it coming
I’m not that smart
The big what if?
I was besotted
Entirely enthralled
It was fun while it lasted
We had a ball
And yes, she still lingers
When I get past the pain
Especially on days
When all it does is rain
When I reminisce
And try to explain
Why she didn’t love me
It seems so strange
For I did everything I could
My best for her
Too bad our romance
I could not insure
Forget the lovers’ dance
Then there’s the anger
She did lead me on
No, I don’t hate her
Though what she did was wrong
I still think of her
I still say her name
When I’m by myself
I should be ashamed
But she got to me
She won’t go away
