Oh Sandi, the musical...No wait I have been corrected!!

Look, I'm not smarter than the average bear sometimes. Well at least my imagination isn't. Sometimes it dreams up that a story ends a specific way or that a song sounds has a particular rhythm and I am way wrong. Lately I have been thinking about losing my Sandi a lot. Powdered Toast man asked me if I was going to draw a chalk outline around her when she goes. I said: "NO,, that's just silly Powdered Toast Man,, the patrolling dust bunnies would have pretty much done that for me.. But,, there will be a picture and a nice flower arrangement left at the site as a makeshift memorial for her."

And then I wrote a song for her!!!

Now originally,, I was writing it to the tune of "Oh Sandy" from Grease movie fame. That song sucks and did not sound as good as I remembered it staring at the ceiling in the dark at 3:34AM. So now,, this is just a poem,, with no music accompaniment to time it out unless you use your Spidey powers and imagine one up (please do,, you know,, for Sandi).. It may be sub-par in recognizable music fan fare or poetic pentameter,, but still,, it stems from the heart..


NOTE: It was a version of "Mandy" by Barry Manilow that I was thinking about NOT Sandy from Grease!!

Thank You MAC for pointing that out and unwrapping the mystery in my brain!!

I will no longer talk about Sandi after today other than to say "she's gone". I may however start to obsess again over two pieces of artwork that the potential new owners of Sandi asked about.

(Seductress collapses to the ground poking her eyes and rocking until she decides to "Suck it up,, Nancy!!"....She bravely stands to present Sandi with her final musical repose,, already in progress..... Please place one hand over your heart as you read...Thank You!!)

To the tune of Mandy from Barry Manilow!
It all makes sense now!!
