Quote of the Day

Revenge is sweet,

But caution, please,

The same is true

Of antifreeze.

Quote of the Day

Everything’s clicking.

I haven’t lost yet.

Such a fun little game,

This Russian Roulette.

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

©1996 Dave Clegg

She plays with my heart just like a yo yo.

She knows that she’s got it on a string.

One moment, she’s holding on so close, 

Next thing I know, she’s givin’ it a fling.

She loves me, she loves me not.

She’s freezing cold, she’s blazin’ hot.

She changes her heart a lot.

She loves me, she loves me not. 

She pulls me from the depths, where she sends me,

So quickly, that I’m bound to get the bends.

This up and down and back and forth reminds me

Of a roller coaster ride that never ends. 

She loves me, she loves me not.

She’s freezing cold, she’s blazin’ hot.

She changes her heart a lot.

She loves me, she loves me not. 

When that ol’ moon is full, she thinks I hung it.

But, like the moon, I know it’s just a phase.

By the time it’s crescent-shaped, I’m hangin’ from it. 

Until her orbit brings her back my way.

She loves me, she loves me not.

She’s freezing cold, she’s blazin’ hot.

She changes her heart a lot.

She loves me, she loves me not. 

Quote of the Day

The IRS is wonderful!

I stand up and applaud it. 

A most outstanding agency!

Now, sir, about my audit...

Quote of the Day

Let’s agree to disagree

No need to be judgmental. 

It doesn’t mean that you’re a jerk. 

That’s just coincidental.

I Am the Alpha

©2010 Dave Clegg

Got myself a dog named Fritz.

He rolls over, begs, and sits,

And yields himself to my authori-ty.

If I throw it, he will fetch.

He don’t care that I’m a wretch.

Because, to him, I’m like a deity.

Then my darlin’ waltzes in,

And I’m mortal once again.

Who's the boss? Don’t make me laugh.

Just one look from her sweet face,

And I’m in my proper place.

So, thanks to my dog and my better half...

I am the alpha, 

And omega.

I am the lord and the lowly subject too.

I am the leader of the pack,

And the little pup in the back.

I am the alpha and omega, how ‘bout you?

Yeah, my dog lives to please.

Barks, but never disagrees.

He’s always ready at my beck and call.

His submission has no end.

Now, that’s what I call “man’s best friend”!

Through his eyes I must be ten feet tall.

But a sharper pair of eyes

Cuts me right back down to size,

And keeps me humble, like I ought to be.

But when her push comes to shove,

She rewards me with her love,

I’m her dog and that’s all right with me.

I am the alpha, 

And omega.

I am the lord and the lowly subject too.

I am the leader of the pack,

And the little pup in the back.

I am the alpha and omega, how ‘bout you?

The Good News Is

©2010 Dave Clegg

Just a rusted heap

On a corner lot. 

She was priced real cheap,

But she’s been forgot.

She was someone’s dream

Only yesterday,

On the showroom floor

Now she’ll rust away. 

But then, one day

She catches someone’s eye.

He has nice long look

As he drives on by.

Then he hits the brakes,

And he turns around.

He’s smiling as

He writes the number down.

Yeah, the good news is,

There is someone who

Wants to take her home,

Wants to make her new.

Every nut and bolt,

Every gauge and door,

Will be beautiful

Like it was before.

In the old folks home,

She never leaves her spot

By the telephone,

But she’s been forgot.

She was someone’s dream

Only yesterday,

Walking down the isle,

Now she’ll fade away.

But the good news is,

There is someone who

Wants to take her home,

Wants to make her new.

Every fingernail,

Every hair and pore,

Will be beautiful,

Better than before.

Yeah the good news is,

She will be set free.

She will jump and shout

For eternity.

And what’s left behind

Is an empty shell,

And the good news is

For us all to tell.
