(1171)▪︎[ Funny Rotti … 9•20•2019 ]

[ This Is Rotti With Her New Hair Style ]
[ She Says That She’s Going To Keep It Like This
For Awhile ]

[ Rotti Dances To Her Own Drum ]
[ It Would Be Kind Of Like Comparing My Finger To
My Thumb ]

[ The Same, But Unique ]
[ She’s Always Going About Her Own Business Without
Raising A Stink ]
[ When She Talks With Me ]
[ She Makes Me Think ]

[ She’s Definitely Not Dèjà Vu All Over Again ]
[ She’s So Good For & With Our Son ]
[ I Want To Ask The Question … [ WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?) ]

[ She’s Been Out In The World Experiencing Different Things ]
[ & When She Hears A Good Song ]
[ She Dances & Sings ]

[ She Doesn’t Sing Out Of Tune Or Off Key ]
[ She Can Hold A Tune, Much Better Than Me ]

[ She Gets Our Son Out Of The House & Working In The Yard ]
[ But She Never Pushes Too Hard ]

[ She’s Teaching Our Son How To Walk The Line ]
[ When He Does What She Asks ]
[ Things Go Just Fine ]

[ Through Working & Working & Working She’s Got Our Son
Figuring Out & Doing His Own Schedule ]
[ He’s Beginning To See How His Life Doesn’t Have To Be So
Dull ]

[ She’s Big On Not Wanting To Waste Time During The Day ]
[ She Works Hard Too ]
[ & She Deserves Her Pay ]
[ She Never Walks Around Our House Demanding That She
Should Always Get Her Way ]
[ She Does & Will Speak Up When She Wants To Have Her Say ]

[ She Is So Determined In School To Get That Degree ]
[ She Definitely Knows That College Isn’t Free ]

[ Both Me & My Wife ]
[ Are Proud To Watch Her ]
[ As She Pays Her Own Way In Life ]

[ I’m Sure There’s Been Lean Times To Where She Just Could
Have Given Up In School ]
[ When I See How She Pushes Herself ]
[ I Know I’m NOT Looking @ A Fool ]

[ Many DSP’s Before Her Have Come & Not Stayed ]
[ Some Were So Lazy They Should Never Have Been Paid ]

[ How Were We So Lucky To Have Her Be The DSP For Our Son? ]
[ If This Was All A Game ]
[ Then I’d Have To Say That We Won! ]

[ Thank You Rotti, You Deserve Every Compliment I Gave ]
[ I Better End This Story ]
[ & Hit Save ]

(968)▪︎[ The Door … 7•19•2019 ]

[ That Was Some Time That Opened My Eyes ]
[ I Wish I Had The Balls To Say My (GOODBYES) ]

[ If They Want To Make Fun Of Me I Wish They Would
Say Something Face To Face ]
[ How They Are Doing This Is A Damn Disgrace ]

[ It Seemed Like They Were Making Fun Of My Lifestyle ]
[ I Thought I Overheard This When I Was Standing In The Living
Room For Awhile ]

[ I Wish I Would Had Overheard Positive Things Instead ]
[ But What I Heard Is Stuck In My Head ]
[ When I Was Listening I Was Seeing Red ]

[ Just Because The Two Of You Were Raised On A Dirt Floor ]
[ Doesn’t Mean That They Are Allowed To Make Fun Of Me Because
I’m Not Poor ]
[ If They Do That Anymore ]
[ Would It Be Okay If I Showed Them To The Door? ]

[ Because I’m Not Buying Into That ]
[ So Excuse Me If I Take My Favorite Baseball Bat ]
[ & Hit That Chip ]
[ Right Off Of Their Hat ]
[ Then I Would Not Have To Listen To Another Word Of
Their Hateful Chat ]

[ So … How Do You Like Them Apples? ]

[ Do They Smell Rotten & Taste Bitter ]
[ To You Whiners & Quitters ]
[ Why Don’t You Go Back To Being A Babysitter ]
[ Or Do Community Service & Pick Up Litter ]

(1312)▪︎[ Give It To Me … 11•12•2019 ]

[ Just Give Me The Straight News ]
[ & Leave Out Your Personal Views ]

[ Of How I Should Go About Living My Life ]
[ It’s Nothing That You Should Or Should Not Like ]

[ I Am Not Here To Seek Your Approval ]
[ For Your Influence Can Be Removable ]

[ & Shun To The Side ]
[ Because After You Lied ]
[ My Respect For You Has Since Died ]

[ Please Don’t Tell Me Anymore Lies ]
[ When I Ask You (WHY?) ]

[ Must I Say (BYE, SEE YA, SO LONG) ]
[ (MY LOVE FOR YOU IS GONE) ]
[ I See That Your Resolve Is Not That Strong ]

[ As For I Wanted It To Be ]
[ When You Needed Me ]

[ I Was Right There @ First Light ]
[ Helping You Fight ]
[ Well Past Midnight ]

[ @ Times You Were Surprised ]
[ That I Was Right There ]
[ Hours Before The Sun Would Rise ]

[ Which Was Nice ]
[ Because There Are Not Many People In Your Life That Wouldn’t Think
Twice ]

[ On How They Could Get One Over On You ]
[ There’s No Rhyme Or Reason ]
[ That’s Just What They Do ]

[ It’s Not Hurtful Per Say ]
[ That’s Just How Some People Function From Day To Day ]

(1301)▪︎[ Think Again … 11•7•2019 ]

[ If You Think You Can Tell Me What To Think ]
[ Then I Think I Can Tell You Where To Go ]
[ If All You Do Is Stand There & Blink ]
[ Then I’ll Explain My Point, Really Slow ]

[ You’re Not My Father Or Mother ]
[ I Have No Sisters ]
[ & I Do Love My Brother ]

[ The Point Is, That You Have No Right ]
[ To Exert Your Might ]

[ & Try To Tell Me How To Live My Life ]
[ The Only One That Can Come Close To That ]
[ Would Be My Trusting & Patient Wife ]
[ But She Really Doesn’t Tell Me How To Think & What To Do ]
[ She Tells Me (THE WAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU) ]
[ Because I’m The Only Person That Is Responsible For
What I Do Too ]

[ It Stems Around The Freedom Of Choice ]
[ I Am Also Responsible With The Words That I Express
With My Voice ]

[ Choices, Choices, Choices, We All Have Choices ]
[ But Do We All Hear Voices? ]
[ Do Those People Brush It Off As Annoying Noises? ]

[ You Know If I Could ]
[ Do Something I Should ]
[ You Can Bet That I Would ]

[ Do Anything ]
[ To Bring ]
[ You Back, So You Would Accept This Ring ]

[ I Know That I Can’t Make You ]
[ Do What You Don’t Want To Do ]

[ Do I Wait Hour After Hour ]
[ For You To Find The Power ]

[ To Play The Role ]
[ Of My Loving Wife ]
[ Making Me Whole ]
[ For The Rest Of My Life ]

[ Don’t Worry & Hit The Panic Button ]
[ Because You Don’t Have To Worry About Nothing ]

[ I’m Not Here To Cause You Hurt Or Pain ]
[ If I Was Set On Doing That ]
[ Tell Me What I’d Gain? ]

[ I Have My Outstretched Arms ]
[ Held Out ]
[ To Show You That I Mean You No Harm ]

[ If It’s Being Here That You Choose ]
[ Ask Yourself (WHAT DO I HAVE TO LOSE?) ]

[ (NOT A THING) Is What You’d Hear ]
[ You Can Drive ]
[ You Can Steer ]
[ I Want To Help You Feel Alive ]
[ Is That Clear? ]

(1300)▪︎[ A Bump … 11•7•2019 ]

[ When The Sky Turns Dark ]
[ & Something Makes The Dogs Bark ]

[ Should That Make You Fearful Of A Bump In The
Night? ]
[ Would You Feel Differently If There Was A Bump When
It’s Light? ]

[ What Exactly Does The Bump Consist Of? ]
[ When It’s In The Dark It’s Evil ]
[ When It’s Light It Could Give You Love ]

[ Why Is The Bump Negative? ]
[ What Can Make It Positive? ]

[ Is The Color Of The Sky What Pushes It One Way Or The
Other? ]
[ When It Is Light Out Things Are Okay ]
[ When It’s Dark Out, You Run For Cover ]

[ So Quickly, Turn On The Lights ]
[ Hurry & Shine The Light Down On What Gives You The
Frights ]
[ Do You Think That Your Judgements Are Right? ]

[ Are They Justified ]
[ Are You Mystified ]

[ When & Where Did This Fright Begin? ]
[ If You Dealt With The Bump Once ]
[ Could It Happen To You Again? ]

(1298)▪︎[ My Head … 11•6•2019 ]

[ Where Has My Head Been? ]
[ In The Clouds ]
[ When? ]
[ When There’s A Crowd ]

[ In My Mind ]
[ Because That’s When I’m Inclined ]
[ To Latch Onto Words ]
[ That I Feel That’s Unkind ]

[ They Latch Onto The Memory Part Of My Brain ]
[ Then It’s Like I’m Standing There Staring ]
[ @ The Light Of The Oncoming Train ]

[ Why Can’t I Just Step To The Side ]
[ The Voice Inside ]
[ My Head Said Things Were Okay ]
[ But It Lied ]
[ I Need To Get Out Of The Way ]

[ So I Take A Few Steps Back ]
[ Away From The Tracks ]

[ Wow, That Was A Close One ]
[ All I Want To Do Now Is Run ]

[ But I Can’t Escape The Voices In My Head ]
[ Can 0913hrsThey Control It With Another Med? ]
[ What If I Take Fewer Meds Instead? ]

[ But I Need Each & Every Pill & Capsule ]
[ I Could Fall Ill ]
[ & My Senses Could Dull ]

[ I Think I Will Stay Exactly Where I’m @ Med Wise ]
[ Unless My Med Provider Has Been Telling Me Lies ]

[ I Don’t Think So ]
[ How Do I Know? ]

[ I Am Sure ]
[ That I Trust Her ]

(1297)▪︎[ A Haircut & A Shave … 11•6•2019 ]

[ Well I Knew That I Should Have Grabbed A Hat ]
[ I Should Have Done That ]
[ Before I Went To The Car & Sat ]

[ My Head Looks Funny Without One ]
[ Because I Have Not Shaved It In Many Days ]
[ But Tomorrow I’ll Have It Done ]

[ Kevin Does A Good Job & He’s Fast ]
[ He Cuts & Shaves Me Exactly As I Ask ]

[ He Is Definitely Not The Talkative Sort ]
[ Untill I Bring Up His Favorite Sport ]

[ Fantasy Football Is His Thing ]
[ When I Mention The Subject ]
[ Oh, The Conversation It Brings ]

[ The Last Week I Was There ]
[ When He Was Shaving My Head Of Hair ]

[ I Think His Team Had A Bye ]
[ I Don’t Know Why ]
[ Because I’m Not A Football Fantasy Guy ]

[ I Was Invited Into A League Way Back When ]
[ I Wasn’t Following The NFL That Closely Back Then ]

[ I’m Not Saying That I’m Following The League Closer
These Days ]
[ I’m Really Interested In When The U of O Ducks
Football Team Plays ]

[ Like To Watch Their Games Over & Over Again ]
[ I Don’t Watch The One Game When They Didn’t Win ]

[ I Hope They Make The Four Team Play-Offs @ The
End Of The Year ]
[ That Would Give Me Alot To Cheer ]

(716)▪︎[ Thanks Dani … 5•22•2019 ]

[ Dani Came To Work With Our Son About A Month Or
So Ago ]
[ The Question Is Always (WILL SHE BE ABLE TO REACH &
WORK WITH OUR SON?) ]
[ Well You Just Never Know ]
[ You’d Think She Would Take It Slow ]
[ Well … That Would Be A (NO) ]

[ After Meeting Her, The Longer We Stayed ]
[ & Talked With Her That First Day ]
[ The Better Impression She Made ]

[ Sometimes After Talking With Someone For The First
Time You Get The Impression That They Are A Charmer ]
[ Then As Time Goes On ]
[ You Find Dents In Their Armor ]

[ Dani Was Honest & Down To Earth ]
[ She Has Definitely Proved Her Worth ]

[ She Parked Her Car On The Street ]
[ & She Came Into Our House ]
[ & Jumped In With Both Feet ]
[ Her Style Is Not To Come In Timid Like A Mouse ]
[ No, Her Style Can’t Be Beat ]
[ She Is There To Work With Our Son ]
[ Not Sit Down & Put Up Her Feet ]
[ & Expect Us To Supply Her With Stuff To Eat ]

[ She Has Our Son Cleaning This & That While Doing
Work In Our Yard ]
[ He Would Complain That Yard Work Is Too Hard ]

[ Dani Always Gives Her Best ]
[ Therefore She Expects Nothing Less ]

[ To Give Back To Her ]
[ She Knows What She Is Doing ]
[ & She Is Confident & Sure ]
[ & We As The Parents ]
[ Feel Certain That Her Intentions Are Honest & Pure ]

[ She Handles Situations With Our Son While Staying Calm &
With A Smile ]
[ Our Son’s Outbursts Are Never Able To Turn Her Dial ]
[ She Has Her Own Unique Style ]

[ She Has Accomplished The Hard Task Of Getting Our Son Some
Exercise Outside @ Least Two Of Her Four Days ]
[ Our Son Is Stubborn ]
[ But She Has Her Persuassive Ways ]

[ She’s Patient, Calm & Even Keeled ]
[ This Seems Easy For Her ]
[ Because It’s Not Like She’s Making Our Son Reinvent The
Wheel ]

[ In Everything She Has Our Son Do He Has A Choice ]
[ Pick Choice (A) Or Pick Choice (B) ]
[ She Let’s Him Use His Voice ]
[ In Choosing What Comes Next ]

[ She Makes A Point To Check In With Me Every Night ]
[ She Tells Me How Their Day Went ]
[ Since Most Of Their Day Is Out Of My Sight ]

[ In This Kind Of Career ]
[ You Need To Find Out Real Clear ]

[ On Whether You Got (IT) Or Not ]
[ Well Dani’s Style & Personality Has (IT) Right On The Dot ]
[ We Couldn’t Ask For Someone Better Than What We’ve Got ]

(1436)▪︎[ Life, Or … ? … 12•28•2019 ]

[ Life & Death ]
[ Is Like The Difference Between Snorting Coke ]

[ Cocaine Sends You On A Mello High ]
[ Meth Can Send You Spiraling Down ]

[ I Don’t Think That’s Right ]
