End of an era….

Week 52 is the last of the first, or the first of the last, or something like that. Do you see all those beautiful roadside blooms of purple, pink, red, and blue? Do us a favor and gather some of those up. When the song ends, you know what to do.

Thanks for following the 10 year journey of Song A Week, and please go forth and create new things in the world!

So what we bury someday may grow again,

One night only….

Week 51 is taking it all as it comes, just waiting to see how it all turns out. They say it’ll all come out in the wash, but what does a person do in between laundry cycles? Maybe one just climbs into the dryer and waits?

But that’s ridiculous = www.tinyurl.com/saw25wk51

Nice raybans,

Week 50 sees nobody on the lake, nobody on the beach. It feels it in the air, that summer is out of reach. But it gets a tear in its eye when it sees a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac. So what are all these boys of summer singing about, anyway?

Hey now….

Week 49 sounds totally chauvinistic and tonedeaf, but what if it’s just a matter of being thrifty? There is nothing wrong with a little St. Vincent De Paul action, some Value Village time, a good ol’ Goodwill run. Am I right or amirite?

How many karats….

Week 48 is trouble, you could tell the moment it walked in. But that’s not the only thing you noticed. It seems to have the Midas touch: each little bump in the road has a silver lining, a ruby slipper, a reason it’s gonna’ be okay. How’d that happen?

Size what??

Week 47 is either a triple E or a triple W, and it seems like there’s nothing in between. Would Goldilocks have put up with this kind of choice? Why does the modern world take things to the extreme? If my feet don’t fit, how will we get anywhere at all?

Kablam….

Week 46 has had one too many and destroyed the dining room furniture again. It’s crazy how quickly that can happen when you’re huge and green. I wonder if Kermit would have the same problem if he got jacked at the gym. Imagine, a jacked Kermit.

Paint by numbers?

Week 45 has just bought a build-your-own-songwriter kit. It’s got all the components spread out on the living room floor now, and it’s ready to start building. So what’s in the kit, and how does it all come together?

Vroom….

Week 44 started right up, no issue, never mind that it’s been sitting out there in the garage for — what, 44 weeks now? Amazing how it just picked up right where it left off, even though time flies like an arrow.

Knock knock,

As much as Week 43 wants to know who’s there, it’s a little hard of hearing and can’t remember who drives that green Passat it always sees across the street. Luigi, is that you? Did you bring me more of your famous mushroom soup?

Pucker up….

Week 42 can’t decide if it’s savory, sour, salty, or spicy. So many flavors and so little time! But no matter which ingredients are scattered around the kitchen, it knows for certain there is one thing it will never be.

No comparison….

Week 41 really is a lot like a blue ribbon livestock farmer: it’s out standing in its field. Then again, so are the scarecrows. So what separates one echelon from another, what marks the peers against whom we we measured? Maybe it has something to do with the wire echelon?
