And me 'bout you, Bud darlin' - Upbeat R Us!

Surprisin' myself at how attached I've become to just writin' you here, Bud, and how I miss it when I get pulled away and can't come see how you're doin' - hope you're OK, like me. 'Specially when the world goes into that crazy and mixed-up overdrive you spoke of.

That's when I have visions of bein' Wile E, keepin' the acme anvil co. in business holdin' you safe. But no, they say it's best to go about business as usual, so put on your hard hat and uber-sexy faded mercurochrome orange t-shirt, get the job done, and hurry home! Then we'll get to playin' Go To the Head of the Class, 'cuz do I have a heap o' learnin' to do ya!

Meantime, writin' a hundred times across the sky...

Said I, many times, love is illusion,
A feeling result of confusion.
With knowing smile, and blazing sigh,
A cynical so-and-so was I

I felt so sure, so absolute,
So utterly, unchangingly certain.
But I was unaware of love and you,

And suddenly I realized
There was love and you…
And you…

In this world of ordinary people
Unextraordinary people
I'm glad there is you

In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you

In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you

More than ever, I'm glad there is you

J Dorsey and Madeira
