Grandma, What Have You Been Smoking?

When you're home alone, you know, just have the whole house to yourself; do you ever get caught up in the moment; like singing in the bathtub? Singing while you're vacuuming or dusting?

When I'm home alone, which is mostly every week day, because everyone is at work or at school, Occasionally, I get down, I sing while pushing my vacuum cleaners like it's nobody's business. I act like I'm a star or on American Idol. And to top it all off; my voice isn't that great. Many, many, many years ago I sang faithfully on the children and teen choir at church. Now, I sing when I'm alone.

A couple of weeks ago, my granddaughter came down with a cold. I told her that she could stay home from school, the following day, so she wouldn't get her classmates sick. I got up early that morning and did my house cleaning. I didn't sing while cleaning this morning. However, when I finished the house cleaning; I settled down in my bedroom, with the door open, and started working on the tunes for the songs in my children's book. I don't know music, but, I do a very good job putting a melody to my songs.

My daughter has a beautiful voice; she is going to record the songs for me; in case, I sell some of the books; the buyer will know how the song go. Also, family members, who have a copy, will be able to know the tunes.

So, here I was in my bedroom; just me and the empty house, I thought; forgetting a
teenager was asleep in her room, which was just across the hall from my room.

I started working on my first song. And I didn't hold back. I acted out the part. I rocked!

Puppy love is like a merry - go - round
True love is always built on very solid ground
I am the king and I know what's best
You are too young to know good grass from weed
Love grows and grows like a simple, healthy, seed

I, I, I, I am King!
I say dance, you dance; when I say sing you sing
I say jump, your answer is how high?
I say fly, you take it to the sky
Now, I say to you my son, you must take your stand
You will not change a single law of Betherland.
I AM KING!
