THING A DAY - A Threesome

WOW Thing a Day, it has been quite a while hasn't it? I have to admit I had missed a day or two (or three) in the last month but I had a strong comeback. I decided to post three of my TADs today because well...maybe it'll give me the kick in the ass I need to power through on those days I leave a TAD half finished. Regardless...I chose these three TADs because I noticed that I had begun writing alot about my friends. Every one of the TADs below is about a friend I have...actually one is about someone I've only spoken to once but hey, it was enough to inspire the text. Though they don't all hit the way they played in my head, I think they're not TOO horrible.


----------
BOLLYWOOD (lifted rhyme scheme from BNL, oops)
I didn't know what to expect
but we talked about bertolt brecht
i thought i was the only one
should've noticed this all before
building up a hindi rapport
dancing the blues has never been so fun

but she'll run off to bollywood, like I know she should
she'll chase her dream out there
i don't know much about sanskrit
but she'll be a big hit
dancing in the end credits somewhere

She poured my drink into a mason jar
said she didn't know what real cups are
it was charming to say the least
she almost slipped on some black ice so
i pulled her left, told her where to go
thought it'd be better if she were not deceased

but she'll run off to bollywood, like she knows she should
and cause she's pretty with long dark hair
I know she'll be a star there
she'll make it real far there
even though her height isn't fair

a goal is just a dream with a deadline
here's hoping I read a headline
in the A1 India Newspaper
I don't know much about the culture or the state of mind
but I'm cheering across the borderline
watching the star dust on my tv

cause she'll make it to bollywood, like she knows she should
with a ticket for first class airfare
though others may scoff
i'll just flip them off
it's not worth dreaming if you don't dare

GO BUCKEYES (I challenged myself to write a Nickelback parody type song..this is what surfaced)
they'll never tell her she's beautiful
cause that's too tough to admit
and though she makes the grades with each passing day
they'll never award the honors
everyone says they're scared of her
but really they're jealous
the vultures injure her and eat their wounded
seems like everyone just wants to be be her everyday.

she's crawling in the mud looking for the answer
born with gifts she can't ignore, yet everybody hands her
a ticking bomb, a gilded knife, but I'll give her my hand
cause she's the most perfect girl I know.

i hear it through the grapevine
she's on the tip on everybody's lips
she'll never know cause they're don't dare ever tell
they watch her every move
mocking her clothes while making notes
they'll buy them next week
she'll cry in her room looking through her contacts
but everyone just wants to be her everyday

she's crawling in the mud looking for the answer
born with gifts she can't ignore, yet everybody hands her
a ticking bomb, a gilded knife, but I'll give her my hand
cause she's the most perfect girl I know.

They can't tell her about the things she's got
they can't tell her all the things they're not
Her friends back home can't believe the world out there can be so mean
Though she smiles through her tears
reassures them she's got no fears
She'll work harder than she ever has before.

she's crawling in the mud looking for the answer
born with gifts she can't ignore, yet everybody hands her
a ticking bomb, a gilded knife, but I'll give her my hand
cause she's the most perfect girl I know.

COOLEST GUY IN TOWN (Maniacal Raffi)
Holy shit, he's the coolest guy in town.
Got his key-ring in tow, he's ready to go,
cause he's the bee's knees, when it comes to the 9 to 5.

He's chatting up the ladies talking about his punk rock band
Gonna get a new piercing, says its going just like he planned
holy shit...he's the coolest guy in town.

Drinking Red Bull, he says it gives him the edge
When we go putt-putting, he brings his pitching wedge
cause he's the cat's meow, at least they told him in the 80's

getting fast food every night for his buddies at the car park
When you buying dollar menu you know you're hitting the mark
holy shit, he's the coolest guy in town

And he won't you invite you places, it's good because you'll never want to go
Just let him live his biggest dream, he'll never ever know
But you do, he's the coolest guy in town.

Yeah yeah yeah, he's got his 87' metro chromed out, all 4 wheels
He doesn't buy the latest fads, he goes for dumpster deals
Righteous! He's the coolest guy you know.

He's making every beer run for all the singles under twenty
He says he's got a million friends but he hasn't got that many
You know him too, he's the coolest guy in town.
