"U listen well, slave. I reward with 3 massages today —instead of 2."

So cute. 😺

Upvote.

I'm not sure he needs to learn anything with an owner like you. They just want t your love.

Btw you're a musician I'd expect nothing less. 😊

A musician who likes bacon...

Bacon...yummy!
A Halloween without enough bacon...now that does sound scary. 👻
You remember that Halloween and it has not happened since I'm sure. :)

Just a bit... or should I say, rasher, of humor.

Lol I don't think so.
I've had other friends who've had pigs as pets.
And you're so kind... :)

I have a feeling you are a lot kinder... than I. I truly wish you well for your sweet words of encouragement —to make my road a hair (pardon the pun) easier.

You might be surprised..but being nice is much easier than not.
And all creative people thrive best on positivity.
You've accomplished so much you have a lot to be proud of.
Although the music industry is a vicious circle sometimes. Just keep smiling! 😃

Keep On Smilin'
©1994 Vince Vance

On the day I was born, a black cloud's in the sky.
The doctor went to slap me, 'stead he punched me in the eye.
I didn't cry. I just keep on smilin'.

On the first day of school, met the girl of my dreams,
Until she ran off with the football team.
I didn't scream. I just keep on smilin'.

So I packed up my bags and waved good-bye to home.
Don't know why I was waving 'cause I lived alone.
I didn't moan. I just keep on smilin'.

Then I got drafted. It was World War III.
Next thing I know the Sarge is shooting at me.
I didn't flee. I just keep on smilin'.

On the day Daddy died, the undertaker came 'round.
But instead of Daddy, they put me in the ground.
I didn't get down. I just keep on smilin'.

Nothin' can stop you 'cept taxes and death,
Guns, love and police and really bad breath.
You may fall down and never get up.
You may even get hit by an 18-wheel truck.
Just remember: when things really suck,
Keep on smilin'.

Then one night, I turned gray.
By the next morning, I'd passed away.
What can I say? I didn't decay.
I just keep on smilin'.

Angel Love —a tribute to Norma Jeane

I'd never want you to feel bad. I was just telling you how I meant the piece. PS. They say, "The artist is never the best judge of his own work." So there! Friends?

I know musicians can be very complicated people...we're still friends!
I won't feel bad for taking your lyrics out of context. I still like them.
Keep making sweet music! :)

Sadly, it was supposed to be a Rodney Dangerfield joke song. Every bad thing happens to the guy in it. On the day the guy in the song is born there's a black cloud in the sky. Usually, a doctor slaps the baby's butt when the he is born. The doctor misses and punches him in the eye. his girl leaves him. His dad dies and the undertaker buries him. I tried to make it humorous. Oh, well. Major Fail. LOL

I'm sorry I may read things including lyrics a little more literally than most.
I saw the story depicted through the lyrics...so you didn't fail at all!
Please remember art is seen differently through different eyes.
But again thank you so much for sharing. :)

Ironic: I've written several songs about smiling. One was optimistic, the other, humorous. imgflip.com/i/30nhog

Your song was beautiful, again I could almost hear the tune,
I'm sure you've written a lot of songs about a lot of things, but smiling is a very good subject. :)
Thank you again for sharing.
Your meme was funny too.
