Ahh . . .

http://www.jamesrobertwatson.com/design-ticket.html
. . . the convenience

It's now all so easy
To prepare oneself for
A night full of music
Under stars at the shore.

The venue is fabulous.
The critics extol
The seating, acoustics,
Every aspect on the whole.

The excitement is mounting.
All the plans have been made.
All the days have been counted. 
For the tickets, I've paid.

Now the hour has arrived
Much emotion's been hinted.
There's no email, which was promised.
Can't get the ticket printed.

Mambo . . .

 



https://archives.dance/2013/02/how-the-mambo-became-the-cha-cha-cha
-and-the-mambo-dance-craze-of-the-1950s-by-patsy-holden/

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mambo_(music))
". . . Mambo is a genre of Cuban dance music pioneered by the charanga Arcaño y sus Maravillas in the late 1930s and later popularized in the big band style by Pérez Prado. It originated as a syncopated form of the danzón, known as danzón-mambo, with a final, improvised section, which incorporated the guajeos typical of son cubano (also known as montunos). These guajeos became the essence of the genre when it was played by big bands, which did not perform the traditional sections of the danzón and instead leaned towards swing and jazz. By the late 1940s and early 1950s, mambo had become a "dance craze" in the United States as its associated dance took over the East Coast thanks to Pérez Prado, Tito Puente, Tito Rodríguez and others. In the mid-1950s, a slower ballroom style, also derived from the danzón, cha-cha-cha, replaced mambo as the most popular dance genre in North America. Nonetheless, mambo continued to enjoy some degree of popularity into the 1960s and new derivative styles appeared, such as dengue; by the 1970s it had been largely incorporated into salsa. . ."

Can . . .

 

https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/tin-can.html
. . . it get ANY MORE WEIRD???

(from https://www.newsweek.com/texas-state-rep-steve-toth-says-mike-lindell-being-set-left-1617693)
". . . Texas State Representative Steve Toth has said that he believes that MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is being "set up by the Left" to fail at his attempts to uncover voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. . . 
Toth doesn't name which Democratic entities he believes are misleading Lindell and Republicans into examining voting machines. Numerous polls have shown that Democratic voters believe the 2020 election was fair and without ballot fraud. . . Toth has made baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. In November 2020, he spoke at a "Stop the Steal" rally in Conroe, Texas in support of Republican former President Donald Trump. . ."

Moon . . .

https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a26964428/moon-quotes/
I’ve never been one to follow trends.
I won’t be with the crowd 
When they round the bend.
But I’ll be here until the very end
‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

Fancy parties leave me cold and drained,
Discos, crowds and posturing in vain
Only feed some silly appetite unnamed.
Where it’s at is here with you.

I don’t want to see the moon,
Fly to Paris, May or June.
I just want a one-way fare
To anyplace where you’ll be there.

I don’t need gold or precious things,
Fancy clothes or even diamond rings.
I just want the thrill that being with you brings.
‘Cause, where it’s at is here with you.

For fame or power, I have no desire.
I don’t crave acceptance, or to be admired.
I’m just happy sitting with you by the fire.
Where it’s at is here with you.

Empires . . .

https://madincrafts.com/toy-doctors-secret-weapon/
. . . and broken things . . . 
 

Just when I thought my little 
Empire would never be conquered.
I was invincible. 
Went from the frying pan
Right into the fire.
Now I don’t care at all.
I’m one smooth operator,
But standing two feet tall;
Was like some great dictator.

Damn the coffee. 
Damn the sugar. 
Damn the colonies.
Where’s my future?
What awaits me?
I don’t want to be
Napoleon of broken dreams.

So when I got myself
A taste of that glorious power.
It was intoxicating.
The more I took became
The more that I wanted. 
But soon the thrill was gone.
Wanted to meet my maker.
I’ll pay for what I’ve done 
Just like that great dictator.

Could be people like me
Should be alone.
Nothing is ever enough;
Enough for this eccentricity.

It’s said, by nature, that a
Man can become territorial.
And I’ve been known to do it.
Simple offense became 
An outright obsession.
I got my just desserts.
Maybe I’ll see you later.
But still it could be worse
Just like that great dictator.

Days . . .

https://www.amazon.com/2020-Yearly-Wall-Calendar-Calendar-
December-Horizontal/dp/B07XB5VS7T

Are leaving on a Monday?
Have you made up your mind?
Is there anything left
That I can do to give me more time?
I’ve heard the old story,
It’s not something I said
If I didn’t say anything at all.

In the darkness I can see your form
As you lie there asleep.
Something’s wrong with this picture—
You resting peacefully,
I, in this heat.

I never suspected 
That you were a calendar girl.

Six days of the week
I’m working to please you.
But when we’re alone
You’re just making plans.
The pencil and that faded old notebook
Have taken away what has made me a man.

Was it Tuesday, was it Wednesday?
Am I wasting my time?
And how much does it matter,
As this thing ages, it still isn’t wine?
I still hope though, anxiously,
You can find in your heart
One more reason to give me another chance.

Sunday evening, and I lie awake.
Seems there’s no use in sleeping.
Heard the sound of the door behind you,
Now all I hear is the sound of you leaving.
