Book Cooking

Why do people say "cook the books?" You're not really cooking them in a pot, are you?

Sonnet 3


It was the day the sun’s ray had turned pale
with pity for the suffering of his Maker
when I was caught (and I put up no fight),
my lady, for your lovely eyes had bound me.
It seemed no time to be on guard against
Love’s blows; therefore, I went my way
secure and fearless – so, all my misfortunes began
in the midst of universal woe.
Love found me all disarmed and saw the way
was clear to reach my heart down through the eyes,
which have become the halls and doors of tears.
It seems to me it did him little honor
to wound me with his arrow in my state
and to you, armed, not show his bow at all.

Returning?



He reaches out for me now 
After many years of pushing me aside 
Never wanting me during my free time 
Always having to make things complicated 
All because we shared the same birth sign 
He's in pain and no one can take care 
Because it's too late for his needs to be important 
Never taking heed of the words of others 
Living in oblivion to keep away from reality 
All because he was too stubborn to realize 
He loves? I have to laugh 
Because I gave him love for far too long 
Yet all he did was ignore 
Never knew why, but knew he came around when he was in need 
Longing for a caring word and a forgiving heart 
So I'm tired of him and he's just tired 
Wanting me now for what I could give him 
But what is that? 
Love doesn't exist to me anymore 
So he comes back home to find the house empty

Hey Chuck!

When I get in a mood
A song calms me
It wraps around me like a blanket
I become Linus to a bassline
It puts me to bed
Covers me up
Sings a lullaby
Then, it chimes at the sun rise
Sigh of relief
A Vince Guaraldi dance kind of day
Happy

Music without Language

"Music expresses feeling and thought, without language; it was below and before speech, and it is above and beyond all words. " — Robert G. Ingersoll

There's meaning in sound. What does this convey to you?
