For "The Bard's Hall Contest" ![]() ![]() ![]() Meaning no disrespect to Dolly Parton - I love this song! Soap of Many Colours ![]() Now I have a lot of soaps they surround my sink and there is no better fragrance than soap bubbles, I think. They're pink and blue and yellow and they shine against the light and when I wallow in my bathtub My imagination takes flight. I dream I am a princess Bathed in rich perfume And when I'm done bathing I'll don a gold costume I dream I'm in a garden With flowers all around And butterflies a flitting Their wings make not a sound So there's no end to dreaming When there are bubbles in the air and my soap of many colours Leave me without a care! |

Deadl..." The beginning of the song reminded me of the Beatles - Woke up got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head ... The pictures were innovative, a song set to a series of caricatures. The story was the age old girl-boy in love, parental veto, they want to go ahead anyway. Sorry but nothing much to say here. I guess I'm too old for today's music! ![]() |
For "The Bard's Hall Contest" ![]() ![]() ![]() Long Phone Calls Ever since I can remember, I've made long phone calls. The record was once in my school days (only land lines then) when I phoned my classmate. Her Mom answered and I asked for my friend and her Mom handed over the phone. Thereafter, while we were speaking, her parents went for a movie to the theatre. They watched the movie and returned — my friend and I were still on the same conversation. I just got done with an hour long conversation with my cousin who lives in California. So what do long phone conversations give me? A sense of companionship, a space to really explore what I feel about certain people and situations, a safe space to bounce creative ideas and a safe space to vent when I need to. I know that, before the days of mobiles, 'she hogs up the phone' used to be the standard comic line about any teenage girl int he family. But I think one need not be flippant about long phone conversations. I'm fifty-seven years old and I still have them and value them. |
