YOU LEFT IN THE RAIN WITHOUT CLOSING THE
DOOR.
I DIDN'T STAND IN YOUR WAY.
{MAYBE IT WAS THE UZI.}
Okay, let's see. I've already used descriptive adjectives like lachrymose and smarmy
for these songs I've been beating up like redheaded stepchildren. I think I've used
sappy, and I'd swear I even compared Burton Cummings's Stand Tall to something
inspired by hallucinogenic drugs and A. A. Milne.
One time, I ate some Quaker instant oatmeal.
It was peaches and cream flavor ...
No, no -- let me get it right:
It was probably "peachesncream" flavor, which insinuates that it has
been near neither "peaches" nor "cream" in anything like the last three
revolutions of the planet Pluto.
I didn't like it very much.
It was way too sweet, and gooey (of course) and what little tartness came from the sorry
excuse for dried peaches tasted artificial -- like it was induced by chemicals instead of
the natural flavor of the handful of peach molecules that actually existed in the stuff.
Randy Vanwarmer's album that contained Just When I Needed You Most was called
Warmer And Warmer.
His name was Randy Vanwarmer.

I'm craving Quaker instant oatmeal just thinking about this song.
No, I don't actually want to hear the song.
Or eat the oatmeal.
