Ego . . .

https://www.canstockphoto.com/big-ego-39992804.html

Sometimes I can get my point across,

And I do it rather well.

You can see

What I think

About me.

It's just my ego.

It gets the best of me.

It's just my ego

It just won't let me be,

It just won't let me be alone.

It's not one of my most redeeming qualities.

Still though it serves me rather well sometimes.

It won't be easy to just let it go,

It's just my ego.

I take such great pride in what I do.

Everyone should take some too.

Don't you think;

Pride in me,

Not in you?

There's a fine distinction between confidence and pride.

There's a fine distinction that I'll never know.

Cloaked with some discretion you emerge from the inside.

I emerge in all my glory.

What is there to hide?

Mother said that I would never make

Any friends if I don't see

What I'm like,

If I don't lose some pride.

Eyeing . . .

https://depositphotos.com/stock-photos/eyeing.html

As I usually do, I've taken the chord changes to the new tune "Eyes" and stretched-out a bit, improvising on those chords. This is one thing that I enjoy so much about playing the piano. When it goes well, it is entertaining, satisfying and an excellent (and productive) way to spend some time . . .

Political? . . .

. . . maybe

https://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorial_cartoon/2015/11/29/

greg-perry-elephant-in-the-room.html

Love,

Triumphs I’ve heard,

Over all. Is it really true?

One

Many-splendored thing,

Conquering

Obstacles revealed.

Gathered for this occasion,

Politely civil in a social dance.

Mannerly; respectful discourse,

All in a room that’s full of elephants.

Talk,

Civility,

Must be maintained

So we don’t set them free.

How many people

Exist right here in this place,

So much the same?

Pride always goes

Before the fall so they say.

It’s like a parade.

Don’t

Think its your own

Imagination ‘cause its it’s real.

Though,

Circus-like true,

These pachyderms cannot be viewed.

28721 . . .

Posted by: OHO's Jay Graboski

For those interested in this sort of thing, here is our most recent recording of "28721" (the average number of days in a human life; this number may have gone down over the last year but you get the idea). Some will note that often my songs don't have what are considered traditional choruses, at least as regards lyrics, where a lyrical/musical "hook" is repeated, usually after the verses and/or bridges (if any). Expertise in this aspect of the craft is one I admittedly am bereft of. In this instance there are rather chorus-like sections occurring where one would expect them, sans the lyrical repetition.  Anyway, this is good enough to share and thanks to anyone generous enough to spend the time to listen and to all those (Dave Kelly, Harry Maben, Ray Jozwiak, Bill Phelan & Bill Pratt) who helped arrive at this mix:

. . . UNTIL justice is served . . .

(from https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=rm&ogbl#inbox/FMfcgxwLsSczksRwBQrbdddzDxZWVCJM)

". . . He had always been cruel and selfish, blowing things up and reveling in the chaos, gloating in the wreckage. But it was only during his campaign that he realized he had a nasty mob at his disposal. He had moved into a world that allowed him to exercise his malice in an extraordinary way, and he loved it. . . not caring about the fate of his vice president was the inevitable sick end of the pairing of the Sociopath and the Sycophant. . . These dreadful Republicans are all Falstaffs, trampling the concept of honor, blowing it off as a mere airy-fairy word, not worth sacrificing anything for, not worth defending your country for. “Honor is a mere scutcheon,” Falstaff scoffed. . . Maybe a man who gloated as his crowds screamed “Lock her up!” will find that jurors reach a similar conclusion about him. . ."

Power . . .

https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article

248354085.html

". . . The wife of Republican Sen. Josh Hawley has filed a criminal complaint against one of the organizers of a protest last month outside their Virginia home. . . identified as activist Patrick Young of Washington, D.C. But as of Friday morning, Young told ABC News he had heard nothing about a criminal complaint, which wouldn't become public until he receives it. . . ."If a summons has been issued, it is outrageous that a rich and powerful person -- a United States senator -- can go to their magistrate to get a summons to harass a normal person," Young said in a statement, acknowledging that he helped organize last month's protest. . ."
