In amidst a melody block to beat the band, a hitch as real as cinderblock it’d seem, I keep on playin’ the same melody over n over for days… but it doesn’t work with this lyric, so for fun, who’s got some chords, some changes and a beat?  Not u Micko, I jus can’t see this ditty with mandy & fiddle..or maybe mandy, ..or banjo. I don’know, ……..I’m salad.  It’s soup, the lyric, give or take a revision 4sake of beat or stream-o or to trim sibilance.

Unhinged Lyric seeks Melody for mutual involvement in imaginary songwriting venture.  The lyric is real but the intent is only a dramatization, as yet. Melody: kinda Oz buskerdo, beachcomber-reggae, acoustic hard rock, world beat, ….aw fuggit…wit mandy & banjo, but no squeezebox…heheh, for 2nd guitar & lyric baritone vocal accompaniment and whatever else instrumentation/voice. Mid-tempo • lively • pick a key (avoid the minors, please, this ain’t a dirge or a Radiohead song; it’s a song of hope, yeah hope Mick, that’s “nope” with a hard-on. See, y’ take yer “n” and rub it out a woody, carefully, and poing…ye got an “h”) 

One little ditty

entitled to be titled…

(no, not turtled: titled)

“Lick My Leukemia”

Lick My Leukemia

lyric by messybear brook

Standing courtside havin’ worked up a heady sweat

Outdoors and in the sunshine, where we love to play

No more perfect case in point; we stand together smilin’

Said, “Maybe we’re happier than too many others today?”

On the drive home, a way down citified … countryside roads

We talk of our plan for the room addition and a new refrigerator

It’s hot but not as hot as summer, …bottled water from a cooler

And our moments rule as we burn fuel along another good day

[Chorus]  n …

You said, “Help me, Love, to lick my Leukemia

No, so much tougher than when I had anemia

With our love I believe I can see me up and

Walkin’ hand-in-hand …there with you again.”

When we get home to see the kids and take a long shower,

Like we’ve done for years (you always like to say, Flowerpower,

How a couple that showers 2gether stays in harmony), you begin to

Get undressed while I find oil & listen to the landline voicemails

..Midwife sent a message, pounces like a portent of menace:

All blood counts are low, y’ know you got to call me, Shelby!

The circumstances look poor, no, you got’a see a specialist

Could be B vitamins, or it could be something scarier. 

[Chorus]

(((( [Bridge]

Come on, …my best friend & lover

For all the sisters & for all the brothers

Gona take a while..but you can persevere it

Love song inside o you so true the cure can hear it ))))

Come Monday morning, we hold each other ......... in a dire cue

A room designed with art (in mind) for some to receive the bad news

The rug is yanked out, our poor huddled mile there ……. as we bear

The fear & shock together ~~ what happened to the perfect weather?  

Now learned Doctors, heartfelt Nurses, hopeful notions bed & bedside,

Rule the moment like a chronic dream that reverberates while you abide 

As one day Godspeed the next, protocol becomes the test; your love,

our love, Oh Perseverant mindset, withstand the bitter pill you face.

[Chorus w/melismatic variation maybe]

You say, …
