On Day 12 I wrote a song as my entry to provide something different than the usual photos, links, videos and commentary.
Thirteen days have passed since I posted that masterpiece, so I’ve decided to grace the internet with yet another installation of my Red Dirt Kelly Compositions. If you would, please, sing this idyllic poetry set to the tune of “Oh Mah Darlin’, Clementine.”
*clears throat*…Okay, here we go:
In a cabinet,
In a dorm room,
Crumpled iiin a wrinkled mess –
Lies my laundry,
Dirty laundry,
Much in need
Of wash n’ press.
Bagged it nicely,
Grabbed the soap flakes,
Got my key and headed out
Down the staircase
‘Cross the campus
Wishing for
A can of Shout
Got it started,
Then I parted,
Lookin’ for a bit of lunch.
Watched the street cart
Lady make a
Perfect crepe’-uh
Munch, MUNCH!
ATM, then
Bought a notebook,
Back to ca-a-am-pus in a rush,
Didn’t want my
Washer emptied
By a stran-ger,
I would blush.
If you didn’t
Get the former
Verse I’ll spe-e-ll it out just now
Bra and panties in the laundry
Not for public
Holy Cow!
Then I had a
Facial at a
‘Roma-theeera-py boutique
Now my face looks
Like I may cook
At an oil
Re-finer-ique’
Yes it’s greasy,
Really shiny
Think I’m blinding those I see
On the sidewalk
I make idle talk
As I wait
To cross the stree (t)
Hope I never see
Them I did see
While the talking did commence
Probably think I
Slicked my face down
Lacking any common sense.
Now I’m typing,
Fingers sliding,
Cross the key–board
As I work
Guess this facial’s
Become glacial
Hands are greasy!
Don’t you smirk…
(Wrap it up now! – – 1/2 time) Guess this facial’s, become glacial, Hands are greeaaazzy – don’t you
smiiirrrrkkkk.

P.S. The photograph is of the door that inspired C.S. Lewis’ “Aslan.” I had to throw in something credible after that ridiculous song.
Cheerio!
