JOSWAF (floofinition) – Joy Of Sleeping With A Floof.
In use: “JOSWAF offers many advantages, such as relaxing you more deeply, but on the flip side, JOSWAF also makes it more difficult to get out of bed.”
Tuesday’s Theme Music
Today’s song is by a Canadian group, “The Guess Who”.
“Hang On to Your Life” was released in 1971. It came to me today out of one of the lines, natch; it’s a common occurrence when I’m walking around town, speaking to the cats, or visiting with my dreams. This one came out in conjunction with mutterings about writing (wrutterings, I suppose), and the quest for a better novel. I figured, “Maybe I can sell my soul.”
Burton Cummings answered in “Hang On to Your Life”, “but don’t you sell it too cheap.” Then I just meandered down some memory lanes about age, life, and choices. Yes, all while sober and not smoking anything. Listening to it, it seems like a perfect 1970 radio rock song, featuring raging lyrics in a taut voice backed by electric guitars and heavy drumming.
Gotta love it.
Floofcology
Floofcology (floofinition) – The branch of life that deals with the relations of animals with one another and to their surroundings.
In use: “Having seven counts, three dogs, a bird (and counting), they decided that one household member should be the minister of floofcology to track supplies and oversee the animals’ care. Although only eleven, Sabina immediately volunteered.”
Winter Pane
watery glass
shows what’s on the other side
making us linger
with wishes we could be warm
inside
Plenty of Us
Plenty of us are like most of us
trying to be like some of us
hoping to be one of us
just like a few of us
it just depends on the day
One of Us
One of us
does all that they can
to learn about life and living
to care, hope, and understand
Some of Us
Some of us
are happy to get by
not really living
just hoping we don’t die
Most of Us
Most of us
live life on an edge
sure of the beginning
ambivalent about the end
A Few
a few of us live
life on a ledge
thinking we might fly
if we had wings
and the will to try
