dilly dallying, procrastinating, lollygagging, putting it off and putting it off....

there are two things in front of me that are wanting/needing to be done. one has a reward at the end, one just has tears. both require work by me.

the first one is a free mars bar wrapper that i have in front of me. i want this mars bar. well, i want chocolate. but it requires me to go out of my house and to a shop to get it. getting out of my house requires me to get dressed. unless i go to the servo, which is a place where it seems you can wear your pyjamas and it doesnt matter.

the second one...i need to answer an email. i need to put into it all that i have. it will end in tears, mine, but i need to try one more time.

instead

i will share with you a lovely poem/song that sharyn and i wrote.....well, years ago. its in a book that my mum found, with lyrics to other songs, and judging by those songs i would say we were about 14 or 15.

amongst the lyrics to pink floyd, the lemonheads, nirvana, ugly kid joe, blind melon, pearl jam, the cure, smashing pumpkins, and also some lyrics from ren and stimpy songs, there is this shining pearl, this gem of a song. and ben? feel free to use these lyrics and turn them into something...just a little more special

i can see

standing on a roof
i can see the ground,
some trees, birds
and kids playing footy

on the roof
in the shed
on a swing
in bed

in the shed i can see
a lawn mower,
a hammer, a saw
and a spanner

on the roof
in the shed
on a swing
in bed

on a swing
i can see
the sky and the ground
the sky and the ground

on the roof
in the shed
on a swing
in bed

in bed i cant see anything
my eyes are closed
but i dream
of rainbows and unicorns

HAS ANYONE EVER DREAMED OF RAINBOWS AND UNICORNS???

no, no i didnt think so

now i will make a cup of tea and put off writing that email for a little while longer
