I Lost a Thing

I Lost a Thing

Once I thought I had a thing I thought that it was mine It vanished in a puff of smoke It left without a sign This thing had kept me warm at night It helped me feel secure I don’t know where to find it now I’m frightened and unsure I still can try to …

Midioms: Mixed up Idioms

Midioms: Mixed up Idioms

Turn up the clock as you wind back the page.Dogs act like ponies as you show your age. Picture of ass and a piece of good health.Share the surprise when you’re taken by wealth. Stick to a head when you’re forging your guns.Work off your fancy while I tickle your buns. At the drop of …

I’ve Let Myself Down

I’ve Let Myself Down

The day has been dismal I’m glad that it’s gone It’s cold in the room And I’m here all alone It’s dark but, no matterI’ll turn on the lightIt seems to do nothingTo chase off the night I’m sitting here lonely The sadness is near It sits right beside me Singing into my ear The …
