Silly Things

And they liked walking, just with each other. Because that's how it'd always been, and I don't think it'd be any other way. Not ever. Not until one of them was dead, because that's what they had promised. And mostly promises are broken, but this one was kept. And everyone said they envied them, but it wasn't something to be envied. I mean, shouldn't it be normal? It seems like something that should be taken for granted. Not something everyone was amazed at. Funny how that happens. I mean usually this would be how it was. This was just normal. But then I guess being happy makes people envious. But then shouldn't that be something that's normal? Oh gee, I do not know.

Just How It Goes

So there was this woman and she was on an airplane, and she was flying to meet her fiance seeming high above the largest ocean on planet Earth. She was seated next to this man, she had tried to start conversations, but the only thing she had really heard him say was to order his Bloody Mary. She was sitting there and she was reading this really arduous magazine article about a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the name of. And she was feeling very bored and despondent. And then suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out, and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet, and the pilot's on the microphone and he's saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my god... I'm sorry" and apoligizing. And she looks at the man and says "Where are we going?" and he looks at her and says "We're going to a party. It's a birthday party. It's your birthday party. Happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much".

Silence

Hush little baby don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns to brass
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that cart and horse fall down
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
