It could be worse. It could be that venerable LJ cliché...

...a song lyrics post!

"A Long Day's Life"

When I was a boy I would sit by the sea
And ambitions Sirens would sing to me
Songs of a future both noble and grand
Now here I stand with my back to the wall
Errant in some ways and tired in all
Life is what happens while your making plans
At the end of a long day’s life
.
Oh no, I’m lost and all alone
Battered and broken and scarred to the bone
Oh love, you’ve never been a friend
But if you’re still listening I’m here at the end
Of a long day’s life
.
Love came to my house and knocked on the door
I answered and said “What are you here for?
Go away. ‘Cause I’m busy looking for truth.”
At the end of a long day’s life
.
Oh no, I’m lost and all alone
Battered and broken and scarred to the bone
Oh love, you’ve never been a friend
But if you’re still listening I’m here at the end
Of a long day’s life
.
I’m looking for a new love to show me the way
To laugh at tomorrow and live today
to guide me through these strange and uncertain times
At the end of a long day’s life
.
Oh no, I’m lost and all alone
Battered and broken and scarred to the bone
Oh love, you’ve never been a friend
But if you’re still listening I’m here at the end
Help me, I’ve lost my way again
Wandering blindly I wait at the end of a long day’s life

--Kevin Gilbert

Or that other cliché: GIP!

Yeah, I'm sure I'll go back to posting nonsense poems from MegaHAL any day now.

Those Hal poems inspired me to try my hand at generative poetry, in fact-- thank you for that!

I'm glad they proved inspirational!

Yeah, I've got to fire up Hal again one of these days.
