Lack of Inspiration

burnt out light bulb

 

 

Lately I find myself feeling much less than inspired. I recall a time when a lept from bed ready to seize the day whereas now I simply squeak through it in an effort to log just one more in that effort to trog through life I have become.

My process for mental stimulation having long been squandered by those requirements for eating and living indoors til it has squashed my creativity to the point that although my aspects of ingenuity and imagination remain they are clouded through the drudgery of those practicalities of earning a paycheck.

Inspiration, aside from that involved in drawing successive breaths, escapes me anymore.

 

 

 

Jack And Diane

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids growin' up in the heartland
Jackie gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of Jackie's car

Suckin' on chili dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap
He's got his hand between her knees
Jackie say, hey, Diane
Let's run off behind a shady trees
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what I please
Say a

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Say a
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
They walk on

Jackie sits back
Reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head
And does his best James Dean
Well you know, Diane
We oughta run off to the city
Diane says, baby
You ain't missin' nuth-in
Jackie, say-a

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible Belt come
And save my soul
Hold on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone
Oh yeah, I say, life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin' is gone

Little ditty about Jack and Diane
Two American kids done the best they can
