I dreamed of owning a large house by the beach
But the cost of that dream was always out of reach
A cabin way up high in the mountains would be nice
But there is no way I could afford to pay such a price
So I’m stuck living small in the city, such a pity.

You took your life, but to me you’re still alive.
I hear your many voices whispering in my ear.
Your quiet voice, your happy voice, your sad voice, your sultry voice.
But while your life was ephemeral, ending way too early,
The sounds of your voices will be with me for eternity.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July.
And you know what that means.

“This amazingly good,” Diana said about the beef stew.
“I have never in my life tasted anything so delicious,” Anna added.
“You have to give me the recipe and tell me what your secret ingredient is,” Barbara insisted.
“Wait, did you just say that you seasoned the stew with a generous helping of marijuana?” an incredulous Marianne asked.
“Well, you did say it was a potluck dinner party, didn’t you?” Heather said with a smile.

Am I annoyed?
You have a lot of nerve asking me if I’m annoyed.
In fact, I’m annoyed that you would even ask me such an annoying question.
I’m so annoyed at you for asking me if I’m annoyed at you that I hope you’re now annoyed at me.
Actually, I really couldn’t care less if you’re annoyed at me.
