Sing

It always seems like the worst part of being sick is not being able to sing. It’s been days since I could carry a tune…it’s like whatever was making me sick is all, “Well, maybe you can take me down, but first I’ll hit you where it hurts!”

Anyway I am working on a song (wish I had a piano! I wonder whether the community college across the street has practice rooms, and whether I could sneak in and use them?), and there was one line that really sounded awkward, so I sat there stewing and stewing over it (unable to sing it out loud, just going over it in my head)…and then a word came to me as the solution. “Aha! ‘Cumulonimbus!’”

…It never would have crossed my mind that “cumulonimbus” could smooth a line. I mean, come on! I guess there is a place for every word…
