This song is from the “Tape of Justice” thing I did. The beginning voice message has a pharmacist named Teresa talking about pills or whatever and I write a little tune about an old man in love with her.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]“Skates and a Horse”
This is one of the few slow songs I have written. It isn’t about me. It’s about a guy I know and a relationship he had. The identity will not be revealed since he would most likely get mad at me for writing a song about him. Anyway, here you go.
I am going to start updating this everyday. Let everyone know!

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]LESSON ONE: LAUGH AT EVERYTHING
Humor is one of the most important things to a young man’s life. Whether it be something as simple as a loud burp or as complex as a movie about a puzzle, laughing keeps the young male spirit bright and skin as smooth as a sand dollar. I often find myself laughing at the most trivial things throughout my day. For instance, I saw an old lady fall into a pit of snakes today and before I attempted to save her, (R.I.P. Mavis) I laughed heartily and called six or seven friends to explain what I had seen. Most of them urged me to save the poor old broad, (my condolences go out to her family and friends) but I couldn’t contain myself. She even told me a joke before the venom kicked in but it wasn’t funny enough to make me laugh.
After that whole ordeal, I witnessed something so funny. I almost went completely blind. Ok, picture this: two men with a vat of acid walking down the streets, carefully inching their way to a sewer or something to dispose of said acid. What is the harm in jumping from a dark corner and scaring the poor saps? Well, a lot, actually, unless it’s for a good chuckle. Boy was it worth it, too. They cursed at me and cursed me until they melted into piles of goo. They told no jokes.
Speaking of jokes, I heard a great one the other day. My uncle was working on some project in his garage. I came by to get my copy of readers digest back when he started talking on and on about this elaborate bird house he had been building for most of his life and how he was almost finished. I scoped the thing out while he described the “seating and working plumbing for their bird bathroom” and all this. Spotting my obvious boredom, he asked me if I wanted to hear a joke. I perked right up and said “well hell yeah! Now we’re talking!”.
“What do you get when you cross a chicken with a cement mixer?” He asked.
“I don’t know, what?” I responded, holding my stomach for the gut busting laugh I was about to deliver.
“A brick layer!” He responded with a satisfied look on his dumb old face.
“Fuck this joke!” I yelled and kicked his birdhouse right over. It broke into at least 12 pieces. I laughed and laughed.
Anyway, the lesson for today is this: Always look for humor in every inch of the world. Someday, it will save your life.
Yours Truly,
Mike
