Hi MSB, Oh no I didn't write it. A friend of mine emailed it to me and said he found it on the net. I thought it was pretty funny and you would enjoy it.

Well, the overseas markets are looking pretty decent so your wish may be granted :-)

Michael

these market days have this running thru my head. i'd love to
change the tune and have a WAAYYY UP week.(g)

here i am, lonely again
stood by watching
another dream reach its end

called you up
it was late last night
said you were busy
with no end in sight

maybe i could just stop by
rest on your couch awhile
we could leave the t.v. on
it's all night hum
and you in the next room
is all the company i need

someone to say
"hello, come on in
it's cold outside
how long has it been"

it's been too long
too many miles inbetween
they say it's a new age
i say it's a scheme
to put a new face
on the same old scene
when suffering eclipses faith
what's left for the poet to dream

called you up
it was late last night
said my faith is low
can you see the light

maybe i could just stop by
rest on your couch awhile
we could leave the t.v. on
it's all night hum
and you in the next room
is all the company i need

i wrote this of when i was on an allnight house roaming spree. i had
an old friend in mind. many was the time in the past that i would be
up, pacing the house at 3 in the morning. sleepless, thought
unrelenting. and i would finally go out and get in my car and drive
from s.f to l.a. i'd stop at the grapevine and call her up. she,
without fail, would be happy to hear my voice and ask where i was.
when i'd tell her, she'd say "well drive on over." ahh, those were
good days in so many ways. i don't call these days except to leave
a message on the machine so she knows i'm alive. whenever i'd
call, she'd still ask where i was. with the notion i was close by.
saying alambama just didn't cut it. too many trips planned that
fell thru. we finally decided i'd just show up on her doorstep one
day. there is the little matter of having lost her address. but i
can worry about that when i get there.(g) one day. there's nothing
quite as comforting as a warm kitchen, a cup of coffee, and a friend
that's happy to see you even if you are a wretched, depressed wreck at
the time.
