Repost of "Tap Tap Tap Dancing"
Tap Tap Tap
Through life
Ignore the bitterness
Ignore the pain
Ignore everything
just
Tap Tap Tap
Feel your toes and heels
Slapping the ground
To a rhythm of Vaudeville
Of Broadway
Feel the Beat
of 42nd Street
But don't turn around
Behind you are a multitude
Of starving artists
Starving poets
Whose work means more than yours
But they shall remain
Starving
While you
Tap Tap Tap
into Fame
Tap Tap Tap
into Prosperirty
Tap Tap Tap
into oblivion
Don't look behind you
Over your shoulder
Lay dying children
And people with cancer
And poor families
Pay no attention to them
Just contiue to
Tap Tap Tap
incessantly
Tap Tap Tap
Endlessly
Tap Tap Tap
Pay no mind
To the suffering
Pay no mind
To the poor
Pay no mind
To the starving
For you will be
Tapping
Forever more

Calendar pages turn so slowly
Without you
A clandestine affair of the heart
You don't know about
Insipid, meaningless conversations
Just to talk to you
Pretentious hopes on my part
About you
Love without action or alacrity
Surrounding you
Me pantomiming my feelings
You not getting the charade
What a way to be seeing you
You happy and thrilled
Me melancholy
Elegiac poetry
Doesn't say enough
Yet I cannot express
Cannot find the correct diction
To say it to you
So the calendar pages will continue to turn
Slowly
And maybe some day we can make up for lost time

If you are lonely
Then you will know
When someone needs you
You love her so.....
So school is ok...but it is way too much work this year. I think I overloaded on classes. I am in Chemistry, Choir, History 11, Honors English 11, Trigonometry, French III, and Gym. It is so nerve wracking. Especially Chem and Trig...it's only our third day in school and we already had a ton of homework. I really love English, though. It is the shining point of my day. Mrs. Wetzel is one of the best teachers I have ever had. We just started The Crucible today. It seems rather good. I am reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles on my own. It's also really good, but so depressing. I start work at Thompsons Market on Friday...lol. I'm a townie now. I hope its good pay. And I hope its only a few days a week. Oh well. That's about all that's new. I can't wait till school's out...only 177 more days! Lol.
In other news, I am hopelessly in love with the same person I am all the time. So I have several classes with her, which is bonus, but I doubt if anything would ever come out of it. Sigh. The woes of being a teenager. Time just stands still in that area.
Anyhow...Nothing new is going on. I will try and write more often. Tata, Maud

Maybe this time
I'll be lucky
Maybe this time
She'll stay....
So Oliver is over. What a ride. It turned out to be a really good show. Last week was rather exhausting with all the running around. I am glad I got to be better friends with everyone. It was fun actually doing things with other people....like being...social almost. Scary, isn't it? So now I count the hours until school starts. Twenty days. Ugh. I still have to do my summer reading. I cannot get through The Red Badge of Courage. It is truly a dreadful piece of literature. Nothing else is going on though. Back to my old boring ways. Sigh.

A woman beaten...
Battered...
Depreciated...
Codependant...
Knows what true love is
Knows that when you are lonely
And someone needs you
You love him.
A small child
Of about ten
Homeless...
Orphaned...
Hungry...
Knows what a mothers arms feel like
Knows that spankings and discipline
Are forms of care and love.
A starving artist
Emaciated...
Poor...
Devastated...
Knows what true beauty is
Knows that loosing a work of art
Is not so much different than a miscarriage.
A teenager
Still a child
Stubborn...
Bored...
Moody...
Knows what it's like to feel alone in the whole world
Knows that things have to get better sometime.
We all know what it's like to have our dreams fall apart at the seams
We all know what it is to be lonely
We all know we are addicted to the drama
We all know we must die sometime
We all know what depression is
But we don't know what true beauty is
We don't know what real love is
We don't what it is truly like to loose something
We have no idea
No clue
Of the splendor and beauty of things in plain view
Of objects of every day interest
Of leaves of green
Of red roses
Of skies of blue
Of babies crying
Oh, he knew what he was singing about
It is truly a wonderful world.

A social status
Really matters
Marry well
Get a job
Have kids
Yadda
Yadda
Yadda
Get stuck in a place like this
With the local yokels
And the cold winters
Unbearable summers
Nothing to do but
Watch paint dry
Some people get a thrill
Knitting sweaters and sitting still
Some people are content
Playing bingo and paying rent
That's ok for some people
Who don't know they're alive
That's ok for some people
Good God!
Well they can sit and rot
But Not
MAUD!

By the time I'm through
Entertaining you
You'll have a barrell of fun!
Hello, followers. Not much is new. I'm pretty busy with musical practice. It's going extremely well...at least for me. I've gotten pretty chummy with Connie, who plays my wife. She's a hoot. So at lest I'm making new friends...lol. I haven't done much else, except read...lol. I'm such a nerd. I need to start some new hobby or something. I think I am going to Aunt Sue's for the 4th. I have to go to my cousin's, Hannah, birthday party Sunday. I am sick of family functions...lol. July is pretty much booked with musical practice and graduation partys. TTYL...Maud

Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love
Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
YOur eyes mustn't go like mine
People will say we're in love
Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love...
Hectic weekend...Aunt Sandy is home from Tex-ass. The family rebellion is tomorrow. I hate family gatherings. I am too tired...lol. I wish this week were over. I am eager to get back to musical practice. I haven't done much of anything over the past few days. I need to get back on track. I need to start some exercise program so I lose at least a little bit of weight before school starts. Nothing else is up. I am just dreading the reunion tomorrow. Tata...Maud

Small pleasures, small pleasures
Who would deny us these
Gin toddies, large measures
No skimping if you please
I rough it
I love it
Life is a game of chance
I never tire of it
Leading this merry dance!
If you don't mind having to go without things
It's a fine life
Though it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings
It's a fine life
Though you'll happen to come by
The occasional black eye
You can always cover one
Till he blacks the other one
But you don't dare cry
And so I return from hiatus. I have not wrote in an extremely long time, but there is nothing to say about the time I was gone. School is out, I am doing ABSOLUTELY nothing but bouncing back and forth between Grandma Stella's, Dad's, and Nana's. Nothing exciting. I have read like ten books in the past three weeks. It is a sad state of affairs. Right now I am on a small vacation to Aunt Sue's house, so at least I am out of Butler county. I got a part in Oliver...I am Mr. Bumble, which is wonderful. It's the part I was hoping for and it's a good part. I enjoy it. I have hardly had any practice yet. I have no plans so far this summer. I applied at Subway a few days ago, so hopefully I will hear something back soon. Until then, I won't be doing anything. Practice should start up into full swing soon, so that will keep me busy. I am trying to get out and do things with friends. It's hard trying to make friends at practice while keeping the old ones...I have left...lol. I've learned to stop my big mouth and I feel confident I haven't offended anyone for awhile. I will try and write at least once a week. TTYL. Maud

As long as she needs me...
Oh, yes, she does need me...
In spite of what you see...
...I'm sure that she needs me.
Who else would love her still
When they've been used so ill?
She knows I always will...
As long as she needs me.
I miss her so much when she is gone,
But when she's near me
I don't let on...
...The way I feel inside.
The love, I have to hide...
The hell! I've gone my pride
As long as she needs me.
She doesn't say the things she should.
She acts the way he thinks she should.
But all the same,
I'll play
This game
Her way.
As long as she needs me...
I know where I must be.
I'll cling on steadfastly...
As long as she needs me.
As long as life is long...
I'll love her right or wrong,
And somehow, I'll be strong...
As long as she needs me.
If you are lonely
Then you will know...
When someone needs you,
You love them so.
I won't betray her trust...
Though people say I must.
I've got to stay true, just
As long as she needs me.
So I didn't go to school today, I went to the fat doctor, or if you prefer, the dietician. I don't believe she told me anything that wasn't obvious or that I didn't already know. But now I feel obligated to try her diet of 1,800 calories a day, which is next to nothing. For example, for lunch tomorrow I will be able to have a half cup of applesauce, a piece of cheese the size of two dice, twelve crackers, and a boiled egg. I don't know how long I will be able to survive on this. On top of that I have to exercise a half hour every day. I hate it...lol...and I didn't even start yet. I currently weigh 260 pounds. She wants me down to 175. Sounds impossible to me. I've never heard of anyone losing that much weight...only like 20-30 pounds. That's almost 100 pounds to loose! Ugh! That's about all I did today. I went down to grandma Peg's and helped Grandma Stella plant rose bushes in the sleet and hail...duh. That's about all. I am going to read for awhile now. Fare Thee Well. Maud
