goodbye settlers

goodbye settlers

we have a board
we have friends
we number 2 to 4
we are age 10 or more
get set clear the floor

we'll play the game
place our pieces
where the resources are made
and if we don't we'll have to trade
and when we've won we'll rearrange

we'll rearrange
where the hexagons are laid
and then we'll start again
but before we do we say

goodbye to settlers of ca
we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
well that's not true
but we wish it were
goodbye settlers

we make a home
out of house
we make a child with a spouse
we return we move away
we loose a job we get a raise

we rearrange
despite the best plans we lay
but before you move away we say

goodbye to settlers of ca
we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
it's not true
goodbye to settlers of ca
we'll miss you
the east coast isn't really far away
well that's not true
but we wish it were
goodbye settlers

goodbye to settlers of ca we'll miss you

we need to say happy birthday

hello friends pinned to black

dimly winking, i'm blinking back

what day is this, is this my leg

the morning quiet reminds me of snow days

baristakristaoohlaaoohlay

it must be cold in outer-space

and now the bean, and now the pot

no war is won without a shot

{and now the steam, and now the shot}

and now the cream which floats on top

oh caffeine how you know my heart

and the part of me which can play a part will play

Let's Get Curious

Let's get curious

words and music by D.E. Healy.
mastered by pop master wide.

I got the flu
from Peggy-Sue
I got the measles from Steven
Nobody got that the sum of two odds is an even

I got a cold from Leopold
Got poison ivy from Rhoda
Nobody got St. Paul, capital of Minnesota

How'd you ever learn your ABCs?
Did someone think about letters and sneeze?

Let's get curious
Let's get serious
It's not impossible it's just mysterious

Yes, it's a stretch
but you can catch
up if you go home and practice
Don't look at me like I'm asking you to kiss a cactus

If you don't think
you need to sink your
teeth into this and start chewing
picture yourself in ten years, smell the job you'll be doing

You don't have to grow up overnight
but I expect you to put up a fight

Let's get curious
Let's get serious
It's not impossible it's just mysterious

Let's get curious
Let's get serious
It's not impossible it's just mysterious

Susan's request:

who is the imagined singer

A CW rock band

who is the intended listener

an ignorant, lazy middle school student

ask three questions

1. Who is a greater fool, the teacher who assigns homework she knows will never be done, or the student who consistently refuses to practice, and therefore to learn?
2. If you won't work when you are years behind in school at 14, is there any chance you will ever hold a job?
3. Can the love of learning be made contagious, and how?
