The Drag Rag
the things you see
the things you hear
tear your heart out
and cast you down
you try to hide
and shy away
but it’s always there
it’s all around
you think and ask
do you believe that’s right
doesn’t it bother you
can’t you hear those sounds
they look back at you
with surprise
like you’re a creature
from another time
then they nod and wink
and smiling like a clown
they say
“The stock market’s up
the economy’s fine
you’ll be happy if you get in line
what more can you want
for your life
but the newest stuff
at a low, low price
just smile and nod
or walk away
cuz
you’re the drag.”
that’s what they say
Wednesday’s Theme Music
I thought this thirty-nine year old song was a good choice for theme music for this day in July, 2018.
Floofcation
Floofcation (catfinition) – taking a break to sit with one or more cats to relax and recover your equilibrium. The term is also coming to be adopted by people taking time away from everything else to be with their dogs.
In use: “Weary with the depressing political news, he took a floofcation, sitting on a chair and petting his cat , letting the cat’s purrs vibrate through his body.”
