Playin' In

Woke up to skies all graying
Sad song on the radio playing
 Want to roll over and hit snooze
See you tomorrow....


Let's just stay home and cut school
A day to forget about old rules
We'll make our own as we go along...
But we won't have none...
No we won't have none


And it would be lovely
Groovin' like a Sunday
Put aside your cares
For just today
Ok?


Time for a selfish holiday


We'll build a pillow mansion
A top secret space to crash in
Don't have to tell nobody where
Why would we wanna?...


A do not disturb staycation
Members of the Hiber Nation
Hold all our calls until the Spring
Cuz we've gone dreamin'
Yeah, we've gone dreamin'


And it would be lovely
Groovin' like a Sunday
Put aside your cares
For just today
Ok?


We're gonna stay inside
And play


And let the world alone today...


Peace - Rene 2009

    Hi. Last Friday, I told my children to skip shool because I was too tired to drive them 40 kilometres south. I can only do that once in a while - tell them to skip class.

    I would LOVE a pillow mansion. Presumably sleepy music would be playing?

    I wish you would have been MY teacher Rene, sounds like you really get what a kid thinks about all day.

    Sunny skies in my neck of the wood today, think I'll play outside!

    Do you write music? That was fabulous! I was dying to know the notes that met the words.

    i look back at this in 2011 and i cringe just a little bit...

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
